  1. RecoveryTrek Option 9

    RNigothis replied to Gpol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Option 9 is the mother load. The higher the number the more drugs you will be tested for. That includes antihistamines, anxiolytics, ambien, barbiturates, and

  2. Negative urine drug screen and I diverted a narcotic

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Totally agree with this! And like she said that it took 4 years for the board to contact her. She could've completed monitoring in those 4 years and maybe it would've prevented a permanent mark on her...

  3. Negative urine drug screen and I diverted a narcotic

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sorry to say this, but you're in deep denial of your

  4. Negative urine drug screen and I diverted a narcotic

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Agreed! Taking accountability is the right thing to do because you diverted, and denying at this point is not going to be a good thing for your recovery. It is easier to admit that you have a problem...

  5. Negative urine drug screen and I diverted a narcotic

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey nurse, If you admitted to diverting, the negative drug test unfortunately doesn't protect you. Boards care more about the behavior than the test result. A negative test only shows that you...

  6. Checking test results?

    RNigothis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Look lady, that was not the point of my post. I had facts about the things that could indeed cause irregularities in tox screens! It seems like you took the time to fact check me, and the answers were...

  7. Checking test results?

    RNigothis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You literally just reiterated everything I just said! LOL! Don't be "that nurse.” Saying people that people in recovery lies is the the pot calling the kettle back because if you are in this page,...

    RNigothis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think she was trying to come at you! She was just trying to put your mind at

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I paid 600. Usually it's around that price. You also pay for all of your therapy, and tox

  10. Monitoring program

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most programs have a short period at the beginning where you're considered "not yet cleared,” and then they issue your practice restrictions. When I entered monitoring, I wasn't allowed to work...

  11. Monitoring program

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Waiting for the BON to act can take months or even over a year. The problem is that if you wait for the board to reach your case, the options they give you are usually more punitive like public...

  12. Checking test results?

    RNigothis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Actually, this isn't fully accurate. ETG/ETS tests can be affected by multiple environmental alcohol exposures, and this has been documented both in toxicology literature and in guidance from...

  13. Probation

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    🔵 Probation = Public discipline This is when the Board has already taken action on your license. It comes with: • a consent order • your discipline posted publicly •...

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think for sure it'll be reported to the boards since HR is involved. How did they find

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is a Facebook group called Nurses in Recovery that you should join. You can get a lot of quicker input there. I am sorry you're going through this. God is on your

    Did the DON say she will report

  18. Diversion

    RNigothis replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Since this is a second occurrence, the Board will likely take it very seriously, but your response from this point forward can make a huge difference. You will most likely face a suspension from many...

  19. Split specimen TPAPN

    RNigothis replied to Nursinaround0123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, but the technician doing my specimens always forget to check the box for "observed,” and I have to keep on top of him every time! I am sure the split part will be on him in your case, but always...

  20. Monitoring Contract VS Board Consent Order

    RNigothis posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wanted to clarify something about documentation requirements for employers. I'm in Massachusetts, and I've been participating in the monitoring program for about seven months under an...

  22. Sigh.....Suspension

    RNigothis replied to Miss Lin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Each situation is unique. No everyone is "ordered to.” In my situation I self enrolled. I did that when I knew I was going to be reported to the boards. I did that the day of the incident. That...

  23. Sigh.....Suspension

    RNigothis replied to Miss Lin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with the above comment. If there is overwhelming evidence there is nothing a lawyer can do for you, and most of the time hiring a lawyer will be looked as retaliatory by the BON. If you look...

  24. Sigh.....Suspension

    RNigothis replied to Miss Lin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If your license is suspended, self-reporting to the monitoring program can sometimes help demonstrate accountability and commitment to recovery, but the BON still has to approve reinstatement before...
