   SheelaDavis replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Hogwash. Nobody wrote 'just move." That is Hyperbole, also known as Fallacy, of which "narci's" love. What was written was something to the extent of...a significant portion of nurses that do find...

2. Is consent order permanent on your license

   SheelaDavis replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Yes and No depending on how we define "Stays on your license forever." 1. Since your case is public, YES, any state board with nursys access can see it forever and so can the public if they know...

3. Jobs while in monitoring?

   SheelaDavis replied to smc26448's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Exactly. OP, the way I read it, was that she sounded like she was definitely under investigation and if that is true, that changes things. But, if not reported or not under investigation, that also...

   SheelaDavis replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   One final thing as a poster asked on statistics and my experience. In addition to working personally in the past with well over 100 nurses with BON issues and back to work stuff, etc, I have and...

   1. When you entered and graduated from a monitoring program, your life is changed and employment is changed forever, PERIOD. Nobody is arguing that. What I'm telling you is, IF you graduate a...

7. Does being in a monitoring program make it harder to get nursing jobs for the rest of your life?

   SheelaDavis replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   That is very true. I would argue that it doesn't matter completely. As It relates to jobs and the NPDB, your recovery story will definitely cover that and No big issue there. However, as an advanced...

8. Option of taking Peth, hair or nails on initial

   SheelaDavis replied to PassportCruiser's topic in Nurses Recovery

   True, but a decrease and completely gone are not the same thing. For example, in the study a poster gave referencing of the distal hair segments having only 50 percent of the etg as the proximal...

   SheelaDavis replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I don't share my OWN personal experience with employment and monitoring because that is ONE person's experience and that is NOT evidence. I share what I did after finishing monitoring many years ago....

    Part of the whole truth by the nurse monitoring program given regarding Methadone, but not the Whole Truth. Another BEAUTIFUL tactic by BON'S and monitoring programs. Join, Join, Join the monitoring...

12. Blood test

    SheelaDavis replied to PaNurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on how backed up or not backed up the lab is at that given moment. The longest I had when I was in monitoring was 15 days for the test to post negative in my...

13. Help! Conflict of Interest

    SheelaDavis replied to Kate0023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good for you, but I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the OP who literally said she went into her Methadone Clinic for her morning

14. Does your license to practice get taken away immediately when you get letter from the board of nursing?

    SheelaDavis replied to smc26448's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It makes sense if you do not have the money to wait until starting monitoring. That's reasonable. I think 40K is too high. I think it's truly more like 25K over 5 years, but it does vary. As for...
