  1. Accused of diverting 2/24, investigation 6/25

    SheelaDavis replied to Ange411's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Alcohol is no concern. It would be positive for 75% of the country for a PETH test. It's legal in all 50 states and Federally, it's legal. You aren't in a monitoring program yet, so woopty doo if...

  2. Accused of diverting 2/24, investigation 6/25

    SheelaDavis replied to Ange411's topic in Nurses Recovery

    All the best for you. Each person's situation is different. IF I had the financial means years ago, I would have forgone monitoring and gave up nursing. I would also not have surrendered my license,...

  3. Petition for early termination of probation

    SheelaDavis replied to Tuknot55's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats on being done. Unfortunately, the discipline you had will always show except in the rarest circumstances. It stays for good, IF....IF....the BON made your discipline public in the beginning....

  4. Kentucky Board KARE

    SheelaDavis replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You have a shot. What you just described is EXACTLY what I discussed in the previous post about possible exceptions for expungement. Literally, you just described the exact scenario I have earlier...

  5. Kentucky Board KARE

    SheelaDavis replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Got it, so your case manager you are referring to is someone on the BON and not the recovery program case manager. As for the BON case manager who told you that if you have no issues with KARE, the...

  6. Kentucky Board KARE

    SheelaDavis replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Let's be careful with words here. Words matter. A. Discipline Removed (meaning) the public or another nurse board can NOT see any past discipline you had when looking at nursys site or your...

  7. Kentucky Board KARE

    SheelaDavis replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's not possible for the BON to delete the entry regarding your disciplinary history. After your recovery and monitoring is done, the license will show that it is no longer in disciplinary status on...

  8. IPN FL question

    SheelaDavis replied to Mel1210's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For example, Alabama can't say, you must inactivate, surrender, keep, upgrade, downgrade or do ANYTHING to your Oregon license. They have no jurisdiction and that's illegal. Now, Alabama can and will...

  9. Kentucky Board KARE

    SheelaDavis replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    SMBnurse, I would love to help you, but there's zero chance I can decipher your question. I've looked at it for 3 or 4 minutes now, and I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I simply can't...

  10. IPN FL question

    SheelaDavis replied to Mel1210's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, they don't and they can't. No state can legally force you to do ANYTHING with another states license. Now, they can and will make you a single state license and non compact. You also can't...

  11. How to handle job until off probation

    SheelaDavis replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

  12. How to handle job until off probation

    SheelaDavis replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It may be worth considering a move to Atlanta area. I know, financially brutal and hardly feasible, but as expensive as the move would be, you have to consider how much of that you get back over a 10...

  13. How to handle job until off probation

    SheelaDavis replied to PaddedCellLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. The reading of your consent order to patients is a criminal offense. Even though it is technically public knowledge, that public knowledge may not be used in an attempt to cause you harm. The...

  14. TPAPN Success Story

    SheelaDavis replied to TexTPAPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Some people reply with a BON perspective because the BON is the one making the decision. A nurses perspective matters, but a nurses perspective does Not matter at all As It Relates to the decision....

  15. TPAPN Success Story

    SheelaDavis replied to TexTPAPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Answer for Texas is NO in most overwhelming cases. Are there exceptions? Yes. If a human falls 40 feet, over 98 percent die. 2 in 100 might live. The odds of being an exception to Texas work...

  16. Test Codes for Affinity!

    SheelaDavis replied to gandorx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Kratom, Neurontin, Benadryl, Cough Syrups, Lyrica, Weed, SSRIs, all

  17. Eval from the BON

    SheelaDavis replied to QuestForWa's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Back at ya. As I eluded to, I respect your take as well. Each case definitely is different and there's an interplay of complex variables. At the end of the day, each of us have to make our own...

  18. Narcotic restriction being lifted

    SheelaDavis replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hazelden in Minnesota, which puts out more recovery research than any place in the world and is the frontrunner on recovery recommendations and guidelines backed by research that they do. They are the...

  19. Eval from the BON

    SheelaDavis replied to QuestForWa's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No offense Beth, but I disagree, respectfully disagree and want to give another take based on years of experience with BON's. Do NOT be transparent. Transparency works in the overwhelming majority...

  20. Anyone allowed to stay on pain management on TPAPN?

    SheelaDavis replied to ApriLRNTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It usually does matter. What you are describing above, if done At a physical medical working location/building, is kind of like case management. Insurance and case management aren't exactly the...

  21. Switching career paths

    SheelaDavis replied to Luna2025's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The poster above who asked the question can contact the Real Estate commission and get a pre license inquiry themselves. A lawyer would be nice and seal the deal, but the person doesn't absolutely...

  22. Switching career paths

    SheelaDavis replied to Luna2025's topic in Nurses Recovery

    A suspended license of ANY type in your state (alcohol license, concealed carry permit, construction contractor) can potentially effect all other licenses and vice versa. They don't automatically...

  23. Narcotic restriction being lifted

    SheelaDavis replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here is how I reasoned at 1 year in which I accepted my narc key back. 1. Have I been strong in recovery and participated with meetings, therapy, etc? Yes. 2. Am I going to practice as a...

  24. Peth alcohol testing (whole blood and finger prick) Real-world examples here

    SheelaDavis replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hopefully your Peth Test is negative if selected. There are two reasons to get sober before starting a monitoring program. 1. You mentioned it as that's not having to worry about a positive so getting...

  25. Eval from the BON

    SheelaDavis replied to QuestForWa's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Marijuana will be a problem if they test for it. Marijuana is Federally Illegal in 50 states and Federal Law supercedes State Law. In New York, Mass, Cali, many and most employers will not test for...
