  1. Hprp evaluation

    SheelaDavis replied to Thatnurse20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get an attorney and get an independent eval now. Go also to the eval the BON picks, but get your own eval also. If you show up to the often corrupted BONs eval place with an Independent eval and you...

  2. New to testing recovery trek help

    SheelaDavis replied to Bellatrixlestrange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What Healer is saying is not just for you Rnemj, it's for any nurse reading this forum. Of course you giving info about yourself isn't the problem and nobody is saying that. The problem is that there...

  3. 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

    See previous response in other thread. No, it's easier, much easier and I would even say, EASY to find a job after monitoring. Don't hide your monitoring program completion, because it's impossible to...

  4. Stories of RNs finding work after being placed into monitoring

    SheelaDavis replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not even in the same ballpark. For example, just a guesstimate, roughly 90 plus percent of employers will say NO for the nurse trying to find that first job back. It's very very hard. When your...

  5. Completed California intervention program

    SheelaDavis replied to Mnltr2021's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, they will. If you are in the NPDB, future employers will see it and the NPDB entries can never be removed. They are there for life. The fact that you actually WENT through and Completed the...

  6. Switching career paths

    SheelaDavis replied to Luna2025's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You need to get an attorney and get a pre-license inquiry from your states Real Estate Commission (the real estate licensing board). A pre license inquiry is a written guarantee that certain past...

  7. Completed California intervention program

    SheelaDavis replied to Mnltr2021's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Based on all of the above though, let me give you fair warning. There are nurses who end up in monitoring programs from similar incidences above and here is exactly how it happens. Nurse A and...

  8. Completed California intervention program

    SheelaDavis replied to Mnltr2021's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No. Not enough evidence. Someone can't simply "look hungover." Do they smell like alcohol? Is their speech slurred? Also, if another employee makes a complaint and the employer feels the complaint...

  9. Completed California intervention program

    SheelaDavis replied to Mnltr2021's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are not in a monitoring program and not in trouble with the BON...............you can drink alcohol, chew tobacco, eat double cheeseburgers, look at porn, get intoxicated multiple times weekly...

  10. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    SheelaDavis replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Got it, so obviously, you know an Attorney is clearly in need at this point. Start by googling "Nurse Attorney's in Mass." Pick an attorney who is also a

  11. Monitoring program

    SheelaDavis replied to Shonda01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What's the charge? Misdemeanor or Felony? Is it related to assault or battery or domestic assault, anything to do with the elderly or pediatric population? Is it related to substance abuse? A...

  12. Done in Ohio!

    SheelaDavis replied to JKL65423's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  13. Done in Ohio!

    SheelaDavis replied to JKL65423's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  14. How do people even make it through the monitoring program?

    SheelaDavis replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  15. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    SheelaDavis replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  16. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    SheelaDavis replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  17. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    SheelaDavis replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  18. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    SheelaDavis replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    "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...

  19. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    SheelaDavis replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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....

  20. PETH testing for Affinity

    SheelaDavis replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Got it. That's why I wrote, IF.....you are an

  21. PETH testing for Affinity

    SheelaDavis replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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....

  22. Help to avoid PHMP

    SheelaDavis replied to ADN244's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  23. CA RN probation drug testing blood?

    SheelaDavis replied to sdecoste82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  24. New to testing recovery trek help

    SheelaDavis replied to Bellatrixlestrange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  25. New to testing recovery trek help

    SheelaDavis replied to Bellatrixlestrange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...
