Su, one thing to keep in mind. The monitoring program is not forever. There is an END to it. It will pass. Your monitoring program will look something like this from the Board.
1. Mandatory...
Is your advice on whether you should do the monitoring program? First, don't listen to what you were "told." The bottom line is, until you get a consent order in your hand, u really don't have any...
They can't identify anyone and even if they did, what can they do? Punish someone for making honest statements? That's illegal and they no better than to try and take repercussions from a message...
There is zero I'm saying about the BON. I've stated nothing untruthful but only facts and againmy brother is an attorney and I more than welcome the challenge. Repercussions taken by any board based...
P. S wouldn't reach a judge because the monitoring reps lawyers would agree on the spot to what your lawyer is arguing andnl they would comply and they would put the clamps on their own case manager...
You not having an SUD has nothing to do with it. In EVERY consent order, it says the BON can modify the terms/lengthen the terms at their discretion. Legally, they can do that in California. It's not...
Then you should consider a court of law. You can't be made legally responsible for things that are not in writing. For example, every monitoring agreement will say you have to check in daily. You got...
Please understand this folks. ALL Hair test panels (both labcorp and quest) allow for Add Ons. Check their websites if you don't believe me. So, let's say you are selected for a standard hair panel....
Not the case managers job. It's the testing agency/contracted company by the BON such as Affinity/Recovery Trek. It's their job to enter the test results into the system which is why we pay them the...

The Law is not well written and it's application is severely flawed. The intent was good and to protect the public, but the application of this law actually kills people as well. It kills them slowly...
Roughly 50 percent of states do NOT allow nurses to see results. You can see where you checked in and if you were selected, but you are blocked from seeing your results. Why do they do this? Because...
I went to a school in Idaho and let's be clear what unencumbered and restricted mean. There are two different definitions thrown around by Boards and schools and they are generally Different. My...
I never check mine because I will be notified of the outcome if it's positive. What can I do if I know the results by checking myself on a Monday afternoon and seeing positive versus my program...
No accusations here regarding or accusing you of doing anything. The point I'm making is....YOU CAN only control one thing which is not drinking or doing drugs of which you are doing. Waiting,...
If you are having anxiety, it should come from worrying about drinking not from worry about the test result because the test result is something you can control of you don't drink. If you don't drink...
The answer is YES, you can. The school will be easy to get approved because they want your money. I did this while in an NP Program. The obstacle....your preceptor. Start on this immediately. See if...

If you are under the Boards radar and in a monitoring agreement, then any PRN organization will know this when looking at your RN license and credentialing

I read where you also wrote in your post "if I go to rehab." Of course no rehab is 100 percent, everyone knows that. You asked me to cite "a study." My friend it's about multitudes of studies and...

Committing to a program (nurse monitoring program) is NOT required in my opinion for her recovery. That commit to a program would be required to maintain license and stay in the field of nursing. If...
Athenaray replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery
The words above are your words, not mine. I never wrote that I think you will overdose or relapse if you don't "Follow what the Nurse Board Says.' At zero times in my post did I imply it. The nurse...

If she is having no issues at work and had no mental health issues at the TIME of applying for her license thst would preclude her from doing in her job and there are no issues at work and no major...
Athenaray replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery
No offense here. I respect your advice on what she should do regarding whether to stay in nursing or leave nursing. But, to ask whether a person "can drink or not drink" for two years after they...
Athenaray replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery
First, does the Texas Board know? Did they open an investigation? Lots of variables here. You said you were aware that she passes out at work. If you are aware, then I assume her work is aware.

Higher level of testing can come towards the end if your agreement and its not uncommon to have a couple of hair and/or possible nail tests in the remaining 3 months. Nail tests go beyond 3 months....
