    KathyMomRN replied to Anthony Chipoletti's topic in Nurses Recovery

    KathyMomRN replied to Anthony Chipoletti's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do not suggest lying because if/when you are caught you're in for 5 years. They will do a hair sample to look back 6 months so they will find your prescription meds there. What meds are they? I...

    KathyMomRN replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    KathyMomRN replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    NJ is very strict because of the Cullen Law. Everyone should know all that terrible man did and you will understand why Nj is so strict. Granted they take it to the max extreme but that is

    KathyMomRN replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    KathyMomRN replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I 100% agree, sometimes If the attorney has experience dealing with RAMP they might be able to help if it's a special circumstance but my experience has been if there is one DUI pre license it's 2...

    KathyMomRN replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh boy yes that certainly happens. It's a classic example of a common practice that is accepted as OK because everyone seems to do it, but now I know better and don't take even an antibiotic if it's...

    Always best to tell the truth. No matter what, while you are in a monitoring program, you must stay clean from any and all forms of alcohol or drugs. They will find out! It's too much work to cheat...

    KathyMomRN replied to Raccoon1982's topic in Nurses Recovery
