  1. Diversion for Criminal Charges

    If you get into a pretrial diversion/intervention program, you don't do time and your criminal charges are dropped or reduced to misdemeanor, but usually dropped. This program ranges from 3 months to...
  2. Diversion for Criminal Charges

    It is OVERWHELMINGLY likely for you BECAUSE you are in rehab and the precedence across the country for nurses who get charged for this is pretrial diversion/intervention/called different things in...
  3. Absolutely spot on. And by the way it sucks doing this time. It especially has to suck for someone without a true SUD, but once you are here, what can you do? You can simply avoid drugs and alcohol...
  4. Monitoring and had a pETh test 5.5 days ago

    Common add ons that you will be tested for on many occasions in addition to the standard panel are Kratom, Spice, K2, Salvia, Neurontin, Benadryl, Lyrica Flexeril. Go to USDTL website where they talk...
  5. Lawyer, monitoring program

    I finished a 5 year monitoring program 2 years ago. I never had a lawyer at any time from start to finish. Why? Because the evidence was clear that I diverted from work and it was going to be 5 years...
  6. 1. Anthony, to add to some of the answers to your questions. It's not about "where you go" to get the hair test. Most places that you go to get a urine test for drug testing (of which there are...
  7. Florida IPN and Kratom

    Sure
  8. Florida IPN and Kratom

    Yes. Psych NP, former addict/ in recovery for many years/former criminal. Went through a monitoring program many years ago. Now, travels the country some of the time teaching recovery and the part of...
  9. Florida IPN and Kratom

    The rationale is based on the addiction principle of cross addiction or Addiction Transfer which is well established and tried and true in the literature. It's based on a person being addicted to a...
  10. Florida IPN and Kratom

    In summary to the above, you may think you are simply being tested for "Option 3 or 4 or 5 or whatever" option you are selected for so you look up that option and find what is tested in that option...
  11. Florida IPN and Kratom

    Yes it is tested for REGULARLY in each and every state. Some nurse will come on here and tell you that they only get the "standard option test" and that Kratom is not in those options. The nurse is...
  12. HPMP

    Good for you Suz and best wishes to you. You got this! New start and you will do
  13. HPMP

    Just to be clear. A monitoring agreement does not give or provide treatment. Treatment is something the nurse gets on her own. If wanting to stay a nurse, then the monitoring agreement will require...
  14. HPMP

    Nobody ever wrote she would be found guilty. She will not go to trial. There will be no charges. The BON has ZERO to do with treatment. The BON can and will ensure that this nurse gets treatment if...
  15. HPMP

    Same to you and best wishes. Your bad doesn't outweigh your good. The very fact that you are here asking questions and concerned about what to do already shows that. Most humans are good people and on...
  16. HPMP

    Su z, you are NOT a monster. You are a HUMAN being who is flawed like every other human being. Forgive yourself for the suicide attempt. LET IT GO! Mistake made, you learned from it, move on. You are...
  17. HPMP

  18. HPMP

    Wait for it....wait for it.....they ARE a drug addict and criminal. So was I. Guess what? That's OK if you change. This person is also possibly a mom, a nurse, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, a free...
  19. MediCAL Exclusion List, but NOT on OIG

    Your statement is 100 percent spot on. The fact that this is not as common with physicians/medical boards rests in physicians being objective, rational thinkers instead of nurses which is so commonly,...
  20. MediCAL Exclusion List, but NOT on OIG

    Congrats. Having your license reinstated is NOT mandatory to get taken off of the State Exclusion List, BUT.....it is usually required. If your license is reinstated, you will generally get off. In...
  21. HPMP

    Never said Monitoring Agreements are from God. I said...the situation we often find ourselves IS from God. The nurse that attempted suicide doesn't randomly wake up one morning and do that. She is in...
  22. MediCAL Exclusion List, but NOT on OIG

    Thankfully you didn't end up on the Office of Inspector Generals Exclusion List which is from the FEDERAL Government. Medicaid Exclusion Lists are from individual states. If you are an APRN, the odds...
  23. HPMP

    You are welcome. One thing I want to be clear of and my case manager told me this on day 1 and he was right. If you don't do drugs and drink alcohol and check in daily you will return to nursing...
  24. HPMP

    All depends. Sometimes, God allow us to fall in order to return to him. Why? Free Will. If I'm a man, do I want to force the woman to love me and make her say it? Is that love? Or, do I want her to...
  25. RN with stipulations looking for work in DFW

    Same thing applies. Go to the local low income health clinic/community health clinic in your area. These jobs are friendly to nurses in your position. Dialysis is an option also. Mental health will be...
