  1. Sigh.....Suspension

    SheelaDavis replied to Miss Lin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When you say, "you dropped." I'm assuming that means you passed out at work. If true, then yes, they got you. There is no lawyer that is going to get you out of this. If I were you. Remember, the...

  2. Take screenshots of your check ins and save them

    SheelaDavis posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just got a call from a nurse I'm working with in recovery last night. All is well for her, no issues, 4 years in monitoring and yet to miss a check in, and then.............she gets the call from her...

  3. Sigh.....Suspension

    SheelaDavis replied to Miss Lin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would say Nearly Always get a lawyer UNLESS......the evidence is overwhelming. For example, if people clearly saw you high at work, you diverted with obvious pixis discrepancies, cameras, or you...

  4. Surgery in monitoring

    SheelaDavis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I understand. 3 months isn't long. 90 days will go by fast. My consent order stated 5 years and my BON said 5 years. I even asked my case manager and he said no sooner than 5 years. I sent the Chief...

  5. Surgery in monitoring

    SheelaDavis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How much longer? Have you ever missed a check in? Why not apply for early dismissal? I got out 90 days early. Your case manager won't decide alone. They tske it to a group forum where the entire...

  6. Surgery in monitoring

    SheelaDavis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They can't check at all when you are done, if they did, you can consider yourself very rich and lawyers will BEG you and compete for your services. 1. When you are done, you can take what you...

  7. Surgery in monitoring

    SheelaDavis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No and Yes. Depends on your case manager. BUT....they will want you to be OFF all controlled meds for pain when you return to work, and of course, for abdominoplasty, the usual is 7 to 10 days of...

  8. Sigh.....Suspension

    SheelaDavis replied to Miss Lin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The CLOCK that few People Think ABOUT. What is the Clock? Let's say you get a 4 or 5 year contract/monitoring agreement. There is a start and often more important......an END to that monitoring...

  9. Surgery in monitoring

    SheelaDavis replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. Communicate THOROUGHLY with your case manager. 2. Communicate THOROUGHLY with anesthesia. Anesthesia sees this regularly with people in recovery and there are techniques such as regional nerve...

  10. SNF vs dialysis

    SheelaDavis replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Exactly. Some dialysis centers are great at Fresenius or Davita and some are awful. Same thing for SNFs. They aren't all created three same. Some are good, some are awful, some are in the middle. Due...

  11. Refusal of VRP

    SheelaDavis replied to Waswise's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You entered the program because you got a DUI. You are in trouble now because you drank while in the program. Once you are in the program, you can't drink regardless of whether a Doctor says you can...

  12. SNF vs dialysis

    SheelaDavis replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My contract wouldn't let me work at SNF, so I did Dialysis. I would have chosen Dialysis though. Less drama. It's not just drugs and alcohol or missed meetings or missed check ins or missed reports...

  13. SNF vs dialysis

    SheelaDavis replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is no difference in Fresenius and Davita AS A WHOLE. Meaning, across the country, very similar. There ARE differences between the two at EACH LOCATION across the country. A Fresenius in one...

  14. 5 years and I'm done

    SheelaDavis replied to blackpear1981-MSN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats on being done. Well done and a huge milestone completed. Once you reached the 5 year mark, was it over that same day regarding check ins and meetings, reports? Or, is it another week or...

  15. Recovery trek

    SheelaDavis replied to Carrie Carney's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not long, 5 working days at most, but many secondary testing sites for Affinity-Spectrum and Recovery Trek have not only forms on hand, but they have electronic testing COC submission where they do it...

  16. Indiana BON probation withdrawal

    SheelaDavis replied to RN2010A's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately, you have to submit a bunch of ********. No nurse should have to submit anything when their time is done!. This is the very purpose of a monitoring program. They are MONTORING you and...

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

    SheelaDavis replied to Nursebae2024's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've heard from others that Georgis is all about the money and the BON is a complete ***. Georgia might be the dumbest BON of all 50 states from the horror stories I've

  18. Officially Completed My Contract

    SheelaDavis replied to Yellowbird68's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Very easy for me. Only thing was...I had to move. I wasn't in a city, but a rural area, and had to move 80 miles, but after moving, I had 3 jobs lined up to choose

  22. 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

    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...

  23. 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...

  24. 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
