  1. Jobs while in monitoring program

    NurseJackie69 replied to Nursebae2024's topic in Nurses Recovery

  3. WY monitoring

    NurseJackie69 replied to sch76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Got it. That changes things. If you get a Wyoming license now, you will have to answer on the application about potential looming court/investigations, etc. When you select yes, there is a high...

  4. When to disclose to potential employer?

    NurseJackie69 replied to santi_05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You disclose it in your first interview with someone inside of your department that you will be working for. Tell them the truth. Don't minimize. Tell the truth, then immediately tell them all of...

  6. WY monitoring

    NurseJackie69 replied to sch76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If your DUI was in Colorado and the BON in Colorado is aware of it, they will NOT let your license lapse. BON's will not allow that to happen. You will have the option to go under consent...

  7. Positive Drug Test.

    NurseJackie69 replied to TherealAlchy0601's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. No, your life is NOT riding on this. You perceive that your life is riding on this. If you were to no longer practice nursing, then that's your higher power speaking to you and there's another...

  8. WY monitoring

    NurseJackie69 replied to sch76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here's the problem I am not sure you are recognizing. You might have to do Monitoring in TWO States. If you had the DUI in your current home state, then your current home state is GOING to force you...

  9. APRN seeking employment after being reported to NPDB for substance use disorder

    NurseJackie69 replied to crna05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What NP,s, CRNA's, even Midwives do who can't find work is work as an RN, land that job, then immediately continue on constant lookout for jobs in their Field. For CRNA's, eye centers and GI centers...

  10. WY monitoring

    NurseJackie69 replied to sch76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are licensed in another state and the other state is your home state, then allow your Wyoming License to EXPIRE if the BON in Wyoming does not know about your DUI. Obviously, if Wyoming is...

  11. APRN seeking employment after being reported to NPDB for substance use disorder

    NurseJackie69 replied to crna05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Working as an RN instead of a CRNA? CRNA average salary = 250K per year. RN=90K per year. That difference is 160 K per year. Multiply 160 K x 5 years and that equals 800K LOST while working as an...

  12. Is it even worth it?

    NurseJackie69 replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Warning! The Ole "nursing outlier," where the nurse hears it, and the nurse assumes the 1 in 1000 outlier is Gospel. Not trying to be rude hear, but do NOT run with the outlier. What am I meaning? The...

  13. Drug testing

    NurseJackie69 replied to Kenzie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nail test will show positive only after a month. Literally takes 3 to 4 weeks for drugs to show up in nail tests. Also, when it drug is deposited into the nailbed from the blood stream, it doesn't...

  14. Diversion for Criminal Charges

    NurseJackie69 replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Idaho for me. Have 3 months left in Idaho program. Employers and jobs can't press charges. That's not legal. Only a prosecutor can press charges as they represent the state. An investigator turns over...

  15. Is there anyone in a monitoring program with Ga BON?

    NurseJackie69 replied to Nursebae2024's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, they won't,

  16. Tumeric

    NurseJackie69 replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Tumeric is like blackberries, bubble gum, pickles. Anything can "show up" on a drug test if tested for. A piece of seabass can literally "show up" if tested for. Seabass, bubble gum and Tumeric do not...

  17. Recov Trek/Affinity Test Codes Mean Nothing

    NurseJackie69 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've seen probably 40 threads over the last 15 years asking about what Option 1 or 6 or A, B C, etc test for. All of them Test for everything in theory and I recommend putting Options out of your head...

  18. Hprp evaluation

    NurseJackie69 replied to Thatnurse20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, because if you are being mandated to get an SUD eval from the BON, then the BON/HPRP will have certain sites that are approved/they work with the HPRP and BON. You will have to go to one of those...

  19. RN to APN after RAMP

    NurseJackie69 replied to RN2APN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Welcome

  20. NP school requiring IPN evaluation to continue in program

    NurseJackie69 replied to Chocowalnut4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Depends on risk vs benefit and here's why I would withdraw from school and not go to an IPN eval. 1. Sure, there is the risk for a 5 year contract if you get evaluated but here is even the...

  21. RN to APN after RAMP

    NurseJackie69 replied to RN2APN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your license will get there and you are worrying about Nothing. RAMP or any other program doesn't "double sentence' you or make you "do a little more" as you advance in training. When you complete the...

  22. California intervention program

    NurseJackie69 replied to RNEV's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So, the only restrictions you have now are..... 1. You can't be the only nurse on duty. POSITIVE, I will take that! 2. You can't Precept or be Charge. POSITIVE and Another win! I will...

  23. Different tests-why?

    NurseJackie69 replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you will do well. If a nurse has a 5 year program and averages 3 tests per month (I know, it varies by program and state) but let's say 3 per month on average...

  24. Different tests-why?

    NurseJackie69 replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For starters, different monitoring programs and labs name and label their tests different compared to other states. For example, Labcorp Option 2 in Nebrasks may be called "H" in Alabama, so it's...

  25. Diversion for Criminal Charges

    NurseJackie69 replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You wrote that you weren't sure how close the BONs and monitoring programs are? The BONs and monitoring programs want nurses to believe that their relationship is like New Mexico and Mongolia or Oil...
