  1. Done in Ohio!

    Real important for nurses who are near completion. Make double sure you get your case manager to include the number of drug tests taken during your monitoring program, it's length of time of your...
  2. Done in Ohio!

    Thanks and Congrats. How did it end for you? For example, when your 4 years were up and you could prove sobriety to the exact day at the 4 year mark, how long after that did you have to check in? Did...
  3. Part of all the paper work you signed when you entered your monitoring program gives the BON the right to contact your employer, and that includes by phone. When your supervisor sends in via email...
  4. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    To be clear, common sense tells us the following statements below which are fact and public knowledge and someone doesn't have to be an attorney, or is someone giving legal advice, because public...
  5. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    1. You definitely need a Better Attorney. There are attorney's that say, "we work with BON's and have experience in these cases," and there are Attorney's that, ARE BSN Nurses who then went to law...
  6. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    You wrote "experts". That's plural, not one person. You wrote "everything." Now you are saying you were talking about 1 person. That's different than what you wrote, so I suggest, you actually read...
  7. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    "EVERYTHING" that's hyperbole, also known as fallacy. At no time on this Board from my reading has a poster claimed to be an "expert" at everything. For posters in recovery monitoring programs whose...
  8. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    Definitely need to seek an attorney. The attorney could negotiate with the BON on an updated monitoring agreement/consent order based on today's science and that's a somewhat easy win for an attorney....
  9. PETH testing for Affinity

    Got it. That's why I wrote, IF.....you are an
  10. PETH testing for Affinity

    First, I wish you the best and hope you continue with recovery. Important, your wrote that you "have" been sober for 4 months. That no longer applies. It's correct to write, you "HAD" been sober....
  11. Help to avoid PHMP

    That's partially true in my experience. Yes, they do have you and there is now zero chance of getting out of monitoring. You are in, but......an attorney can Sometimes get your "sentence" reduced. The...
  12. CA RN probation drug testing blood?

    As the one poster said, call your case manager and explain your situation and try to get observed urines. You are in for alcohol. PETH tests are going to be a regular thing and being in for alcohol, I...
  13. New to testing recovery trek help

    Good advice. RNemj, beat wishes. I still think you might have a case against the reporting person. You can have a lawyer at any time. That's your constitutional right. I'm not referring to you...
  14. New to testing recovery trek help

    Depends on the state. Most states DO have reporting requirements for certain professionals like nurses in which the ER Nurse technically is SUPPOSE to report and by law, should report based on the...
  15. New to testing recovery trek help

    1. A nurse on duty at an ER can't disclose your private health information to a monitoring agency or the BON without your consent. That's not just a crime. It's a civil liable action on that nurses...
  16. Oig exclusion list

    I think your case is so complex a lawyer is a must. For California, call them, ask what is required. You can call the state Medicaid office. You may find it easy to get off their debarment list with...
  17. Help to avoid PHMP

    As long as you have not yet signed a consent order with the BON, you aren't too
  18. The name is PAPNJ. Professional Assistance Program of New Jersey. You stated that "you heard that nurses can do the program as well instead of RAMP." <------that is Patially True and Partially Not...
  19. OIG list

    I hinted this in the first post. But, lets be clear on "a few years to resolve." Not exactly...... For sure, the person has to have a valid and legit state nursing license to be removed from the...
  20. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    I'm not being rude or disrespectful. I'm giving you honest answers. Giving honest answers is the truth, and the truth isn't rude or disrespectful You definitely are in a vulnerable state, but being...
  21. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    For starters, I wrote that because you used the word "snitch," and that word implies someone is Comfortable with Secrets. Gigantic difference in YOU liking to keep secrets, and someone who is...
  22. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Exactly. Common sense. Also....keywords.....Birthday. Ever seen a 15 minute or 30 minute "2 drink birthday celebration"? I haven't. Again, very possible the poster had only 2 drinks, but...
  23. Help to avoid PHMP

    You will have lot of evidence OVER TIME....which is key. You got the DUI 6 years ago you stated. You also stated you had a couple of SUD evals about 2 years ago if I read correctly that stated no...
  24. OIG list

    In my opinion, if I am in your situation, I absolutely WOULD STOP immediately. The OIG list is a Federal List. The OIG list SUPERCEDES a state license and any state licenses that are lingering. Let...
  25. OIG list

    I have no idea what the chances of reinstatement are. I would imagine an attorney would be of use for something like that. It's one thing to have a revoked license due to substance abuse. These can...
