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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Your license is revoked by the BON and you have an active license in another state right now via endorsement...............for the moment you do. That OIG list effects the other license in the other...

If you miss a check in, always test the very next day or even the same evening if you realize it that day. Select the option that is the most expensive or the one that you are usually tested for....
I wish you all of the best, but if you got drunk 5 days ago, sobriety is actually Not going well. Sobriety means not drinking and.......you just drank? You could argue that sobriety WAS going well,...
Understand that my opinions are based on trusting you.....meaning......you truly don't have a drinking problem. I'm taking you at your word.
I would 100 percent go to the scheduled eval that the...
Links? No. Personal experience when I worked and where I worked in the past? Over 10 times. Also, it happened to me. DUI from 3 years earlier, went to rehab, never drank again, BON contacts me...
I don't know anyone in PA. I also don't perform any services on here because solicitation is not allowed. I don't do private messages or anything like that. I'm just trying to help. If you find an...
Most nurses don't know it's an option and the BON's want to gladly keep it that way and so do monitoring programs. If every nurse knew this was an option, BON's and Monitoring Programs (of which both...
Google "List of Nurse Attorneys in PA" and you will see an AI generated list that gives contact info for Attorney's that are also Nurses. There is a huge difference in a lawyer that says, "I have...
That eval is too old. It will not work. Of course the facility you are having the evaluation from is "recommended by the BON." LOL. They see dollar signs coming in and when that facility finds an...
You are going to need an evaluation that has occurred AFTER the event and within the last 3 months for it to have weight. If eval was 6 months or 1 year ago, it's not going to have as much weight....
Always get second opinion from a facility that isn't "approved" by the BON. There are countless stories on this website and around the country where the BON's "approved" SUD eval facility makes up a...
