Take it back. Even if they don't appreciate your honesty you will learn a valuable lesson and when things get tough (or painful) you won't be tempted by the knowledge that you got away with it before so why not try a little. Happens every day in ever...

I noticed there a a number of nursing positions in the insurance industry. They are a bunch of blood suckers but you could do case assessment. At least you would be sitting and the pay is good.

Watch Susan Boyles on youtube and answer your own question. No one defines or limits you, accept you. You create your own reality. I graduated from college with a man that was 84 and it was his lifetime dream to get a baccalaureate. Do what makes you...

Just recently my friend and recovering narcotics abuser (ONLY used 90 days) had to be hospitalized for emergency surgery at the same hospital she was terminated from last fall. After 2 days on her old floor her old nurse manager walks into her room a...

Got pretty much what I wanted to know. Good attorneys often use test trials. They also play devils advocate. Thanks!!!!

I think I said in the original post that is exactly what I told her. I never asked for any advise to give her. I was venting. Please reread the original post.

I'm very close to her and twice her age. But thanks for asking I feel your concern for her well being. I hear a lot of fear in these responses. What I don't hear is concern for the rule of law. My friend is very lucky to have an old 30 year sober re...

She was moved againest her will. Please read. She did not agree to the move and they moved her to a completely different building and not even to a surgical wing.

Obtaining medical information (even about an admittance) for personal use is a HIPAA violation. Using that information and having a patient moved (againest a physicians advisement and without his knowledge) can only be explained by the need to protec...

Why would she demand to be moved from the best hospital and specialist to treat her situation? The answer would be to make a group of nurses feel more comfortable. She, afterall was the patient. The actions of the NM may cost the hospital and could ...

You probably missed the part about her emergency admittance. 103.7 fever and non-responsive may clarify it for you. Unfortunately she did not have a choice her specialist are on staff there also. She could have however stayed home and died, bleeding...

My friend said she would rather jump thru every BON hoop than have to reveal to a new employer that she is on probation. She would rather take the 90 in 90 and the random drug screen with daily call in and the program sponsor if she could get by wit...

I cannot believe that anyone thinks that a person should have to reveal any information to a PEER. A peer does not pay you. A peer does not set policy. A peer is just another cog in the machine just like you. Frankly they have no significance whats...

Thank you, That is the only explaination that should be given to other employees by management and the person with the restrictions does not have to give a peer any explaination if they do not choose to.

The only person you owe a COMPLETE explaination to is your NM and HR when you are interviewed for the position. Anyone else feeling like they need to know can ask the NM. If they can't muster the courage to ask the NM then they don't need to know a...

Congrats on the Job. Now you can show what a great nurse and person you are.

Ye right!!! My friend can tell you volumes about coming clean and what it gets you. Frankly it is no ones business other than your supervisor and HR. If they don't like the fact that they have to administer the narcs tell them to take it up with the...

I think I'd stick with " I took a walk on the dark side and now I'm finding my way back, thanks for asking and being concerned" If they are just curious it will satisfy them, if they are meanspirited it will shame them and if they are human it will b...

Yep! Went into recovery 28 years ago (1 two week relapse 4 years ago) and I still consider myself a drunk. I did the dt's and the hallucinations and the perferated ulcers and all before 22. I went to hell and back several times. Where my friend is...

Have a friend that is the best nurse I've ever known. Graduated top of her BSN class, went to work in med/surg at 22. She is now 25. In the last year she had a divorce, traumatic delivery, and serious IBS with chronic pain and began diverting waste 4...

Oh well that made a complete circle so I'm out. E.TX nurse please give us the data that says being beautiful makes you more likely to be a junky!!!! LOL I'm glad my friend realizes she is predisposed to addiction due to serotonin levels rather than h...

Were you caught diverting Tiak or did you just come forward and admit to diverting? There seems to be greater repercussions from getting caught diverting than admitting diverting. I'm not sure what the reasoning is but I do know that the DEA needs ph...

My friends waiting for the same answer. Frankly I've been looking at her BON discipline meeting reports and they are just now dealing with stuff from 2004 to 2007. At this rate she will already be finished with NP degree and practicing before they ...

Please report yourself and read the "my friend got fired thread"and you will see that you will probably be reported by someone at your previous employer. Do yourself a favor and report yourself and have the advantage of looking contrite and willing t...

You guys ever heard of tongue in cheek? I really thought the whole attractiveness issue was a joke. Guess not. Tess your right it can be a hindrance because there is a sense of entitlement that happens when you are adored by everyone. In addition yo...
