  1. getting hit from all sides

    foraneman replied to whatsonetodo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are getting caught up in a well know quagmire where various BON's do their own thing on an issue that did not occur in their state and which other BON's are also dealing with. You absolutely MUST...

  2. Need feedback, advice, support please.

    foraneman replied to SoberRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am confused. You said you have been sober "for years". How is it that your license is now on probation and you have a 6 month narcotic restriction? Is this a case of the BON taking years to catch up...

  3. Adderall addiction

    foraneman replied to wondergirl22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Please note that I observed the OP is addicted to amphetamines, and that this occurs even with taking them as prescribed. This is a fact. Whether it is good or bad the OP has to decide. Next, I opined...

  4. Fl nurse needs help

    foraneman replied to redneckgirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The drugs tested can vary lab to lab, and health professional monitoring programs can also have their own unique panel makeup. Here is a common list with a couple options. Alcohol Benzodiazepines...

  5. Final Decision/Waivers/ Wisconsin

    foraneman replied to new to the system's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Typically health professionals provide a single split specimen urine sample (60cc) that is tested for I believe 12 items with FirstLab. (labcorp is the actual lab used by FirstLab for testing last i...

  6. Adderall addiction

    foraneman replied to wondergirl22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The problem with Adderal is that it is an amphetamine (two to be precise, dextroamphetamine and amphetamine) and EASILY causes an amphetamine addiction, even when taken as directed....which is exactly...

  7. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    foraneman replied to Honest&Hopeful&Hur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    While there certainly is some harsh truth to what you say, let's also be fair. First, if one completes IPN there is no public record of the events and your license remains clear during and after. You...

  8. Lack of support for Wisconsin Nurses and the BON disciplinary measures

    foraneman replied to new to the system's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sent you a PM with an excellent

  9. BON ignoring me

    foraneman replied to lexielynn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, does your contract in fact say that failure to renew or maintain a current license IS a violation? For this to be the case it MUST specifically say so. In any event, the letter you describe...

  10. Malpractice

    foraneman replied to grad13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    From the linked article: "The NPDB classifies RNs into four categories: nonspecialized RNs, nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners. According to the data bank, RNs have been...

  11. Month away from graduation and NOW realize DUI will be an issue. Experience MD BON?

    foraneman replied to m.neugz's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am very familiar with the MD BON and this issue. You should indeed include a letter of explanation for your DUI with your application. You MUST be honest about the DUI or you will find that you will...

  12. OIG

    foraneman replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Since you have not included any additional details I am rather at a loss to explain why you would be on the OIG list at all, much less for a minimum of 2 years. Usually nurses with an addiction issue...

  13. Any advice on representing myself?

    foraneman replied to Brooke96's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Agree

  14. Please Help...should I self report?

    foraneman replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello Jackie my boy....still fighting the good fight I

  15. Sobriety and nursing school interviews

    foraneman replied to afbc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your situation is a bit unique. You have many years of recovery, a long history of service to other addicts, and a burning desire to become a nurse that is based on these experiences. Your verbal...

  16. Please Help...should I self report?

    foraneman replied to RNism's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You have not mentioned what state you live in, but since you mentioned "Health Practioner's Monitoring Program" I am going out on a limb and guessing Virginia. You have heard some horror stories...

  17. Any advice on representing myself?

    foraneman replied to Brooke96's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As has been mentioned, ignoring the action almost guarantees that your license in that state will be revoked, which also means that you will be reported to the national practitioner data bank. The...

  18. CRNA vs SRNA vs AA?

    foraneman replied to TopCat1234's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes. SRNA refers only to an RN currently enrolled in an approved nurse anesthesia training

  19. Pennsylvanis CRNA's

    foraneman replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I did not train in Pennsylvania, nor have I ever worked in Pennsylvania, however I am familiar with CRNA practice and training in the state. One really has to view practice locations and training...

  20. Acceptance Issue

    foraneman replied to yankeesrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All seems a bit odd. Usually decisions are made regarding applicants all at the same general time, and before any telephone (bad practice anyway in my view) congratulations go out to anyone, or...

  21. Looking for some advice, please!!

    foraneman replied to Determined 1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can at least tell you the program director...one of his interests is trauma (former Chief CRNA at Shock Trauma in Baltimore), so your Level 1 Trauma Center experience will be a plus possibly. You...

  22. CRNA frustrations

    foraneman replied to BeeFlowe's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ok, let's look at your specific issues: Let's take them one by one. Politics: As has been stated, the situation you describe, while it may feel like you have to be an international diplomat to deal...

  23. How often do you draw the line?

    foraneman replied to Mully's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The anesthesia provider has the final say as to whether they will be providing anesthesia care for a patient. While technically an anesthesia cancellation is cancellation of only the anesthetic, few...

  24. CRNA frustrations

    foraneman replied to BeeFlowe's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry, but I really don't get what you expect to receive in advice here. Your problem, and forgive me for being blunt, at this point is YOU. You "considered changing jobs a loooong time ago"...but you...

  25. Ever carried a patient to PACU?

    foraneman replied to hypnus's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You will not find any 'national standard' or recommendation regarding this. Whether or not it is viewed as 'safe practice' will vary institution to institution and practitioner to practitioner. I see...
