    Consent Order Active and Failed an Employer Drug Screen?

    PsychRNXXX replied to PsychRNXXX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeh. It doesn't go that in depth with the consent order. What I've read so far. Like I said in response above - I'm not sure that they edit the consent orders. It's a signed notarized document. So...

    Consent Order Active and Failed an Employer Drug Screen?

    PsychRNXXX replied to PsychRNXXX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I never did inpatient or IOP. The increased testing comes from an automated computer system which has no link to employer test. Unless there's something a person can add into the website equation for...

    Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

    PsychRNXXX replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Right. That totally sucks. Thank goodness I just pay monthly for the test given the month before. It's been anywhere from 3-4 test a month maybe. And at 84$ a pop for the urine screen they

    Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    PsychRNXXX replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    It's a never ending cycle. I saw the same where I worked. It's the doctor's call to admit them or not. A lot of them know what to say to get admitted or how to act. A lot of them are homeless. But not...

    Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

    PsychRNXXX replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Interesting. None of these monitoring programs are the same LOL. I don't think I've run across any other people in my state on here. Although a lot of people don't post it in here for privacy reasons...

    Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

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

    I wish I could use that as an excuse. Sheesh. I've not been shy about peeing or anything in front of people especially since being a nurse and having 3 kids. Don't care anymore LOL. If you wanna see...

    Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

    PsychRNXXX replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My tech that did my last observed urine test told me that the providers (MD, NP etc) that have to do the drug testing don't have to even do observed urine screens.

    Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

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

    I always try to look up the requested lab and see what all it is for but can never figure it out. My case analyst said even Benadryl shows up. But I'm not sure they test for it all the time. I also...

    PsychRNXXX replied to Wsaye78's topic in Nurses Recovery

    But you didn't do anything that got reported to the BON prior? Did she report you herself after you told her? I'm not understanding why it got to them at all if you weren't intoxicated at work or...

    Job duties align with license?

    PsychRNXXX replied to Dsmama's topic in General Nursing

    You can always get your own malpractice insurance. I did that. But I don't foresee any problem with the BON unless something gets reported by someone. It is a bit grey

    PsychRNXXX replied to Wsaye78's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If there is any choice to have it go to a hearing you could do that and say you've already done a treatment program. But they could still require you to do the other just because they can and that's...

    PsychRNXXX replied to Joshua Compton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am amazed at these contracts that are 3 or 5 years long. Mine could technically be done in a year if I was already at a facility that accepted the conditions of my consent order. I only need 4...

    Advice for dealing with addicts?

    Amen! 100% agree. Hands down. Vistaril 25mg is a joke. Even for me. Benadryl 50mg is nothing to them. I can even take that. People using heroine and other hard drugs aren't going to be affected by...
