  1. Careers for Nurses who Leave Monitoring

    dancinginthedark replied to Steven Thompson's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My concern is that employers and schools will do background checks, and find the suspension order. So, even if I quit and want to do something else, any school or job that does background check will...

  2. False positive peth

    dancinginthedark replied to Jtc4583's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hair test can't be used for alcohol use. Not in my program at least. It's supposedly unreliable. What does a false positive count as? In my program, a false positive isn't negated by a new...

  3. Monitoring Program

    dancinginthedark replied to Nursinggirl17's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wait who did you give $6,500 to? I'm shocked at the cost. In my program, it's 800-1000 range my state is the same though. They make you do eval but everyone gets 3-5 years

  4. PeTH finger prick test?

    dancinginthedark posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone taken this test? I have a question because they use alcohol swabs to clean the collection site. The first drop of blood is wiped with gauze. Just curious if anyone else has done it with...

  6. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    dancinginthedark replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not in Cali. However, in our program, they will ask when you last drank during your intake. If you have admit to drinking recently, then they are not going to assign you a test that you will...

  7. Monitoring Program

    dancinginthedark replied to Nursinggirl17's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In our program, the case managers and evaluators can decide that you don't need to be monitored. Yet, the board decides all the evidence doesn't matter. I completely understand the frustration...

  8. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

    dancinginthedark replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Everyone in my program does a hair test. It could go either way. If you can get a prescription for the med, I'd do that asap. It takes about a week for meds to show up in

  9. You can get out of monitoring early

    dancinginthedark replied to Joshua Compton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's great! It seems unfair that a nurse would have to lead a recovery group to be considered for early release. That is above and beyond the requirements, which is what should be considered for...

  10. Afraid to work with colleague

    dancinginthedark replied to Chickenlady's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

    dancinginthedark replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I remember looking at so many states. I think Wisconsin is run by the state board. This series by MedPage talks about nurse monitoring programs. It touches on the use of subcontractors In NJ....

  12. What is the toughest part of nursing?

    dancinginthedark replied to MoLo's topic in General Nursing

    I feel sorry for nurses like that. Debbie gonna roll her eyes and suck her teeth, then get the hell on and do her job. If she wants to be passive aggressive or believe herself to be a martyr, so be...

  14. Thoughts on nurses who became physicians

    dancinginthedark replied to NurseMcMuffin's topic in General Nursing

    Oh that has nothing to do with you being a doctor because nurses have done this to me as a nurse. I try to "kill then with kindness" too but I am not a mind reader. And some people just don't like you...

  15. Losing my ambition

    dancinginthedark replied to santi_05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm so sorry. It does suck. It's an uphill battle unfortunately, but if you love nursing I would try to position yourself in the best way possible so you don't miss out too much when you're done. It'd...
