    NurseJackie69 replied to ApriLRNTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Gabapentin is not federally controlled, but some states do control it. In Texas, it's a controlled schedule 5. That does NOT matter regarding whether you can take it. Texas DOES allow Gabapentin and...

  4. Surrendering a single state license- ramifications to keeping other licenses?

    NurseJackie69 replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

  9. Unknown restrictions ,not possible to find a nursing job,even non drug dispensing..

    NurseJackie69 replied to Blinkyvx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. First, put in 25 applications. Don't place 1 or 2, then wait, then go to interview weeks later, then be told No and overall, one month of time is wasted. 2. You will find a job in nursing at a...

  15. Jobs before consent order

    NurseJackie69 replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

  21. Becoming an NP after discipline

    NurseJackie69 replied to 10yearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery
