1. 3 Tests in 5 days!!!

   noctanol replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   What state are you guys in? Why are they doing blood tests? In Texas it's urine only as far as I know and it's either $55 or around 80 if you use an afterhours collection

2. Seriously?! Grrrr.

   noctanol replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Lol, and how would that be a random drug test if you had 24 hours to drop a sample??? Let's be honest, not all nurses here are sober and cheating this "system" is not that difficult. It's now 2AM in...

3. Still Waiting to Hear

   noctanol replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Not in Arizona but mine in Texas took close to 2.5 years. Continue with your life, as hard as that may sound. There are almost 10 steps/processes in texas and each took up to 3 or 4

4. ER visit paper work for TPAPN

   noctanol replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Not trying to be rude but isn't this kind of question better answered by your case manager or monitoring supervisor? Not on TPAPN but all I do is fax the script and ER visit summary. I don't get...

5. Recovery Trek

   noctanol replied to Carriesmith91's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I'm sorry dear but you make no sense. Maybe correct your post or offer more details. The boards of nursing in all states do not communicate by hearsay or over the phone, they do so in writing, that...

6. Recoverytrek option 6

   noctanol replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Is there any reason why people keep asking for this numbers??? All of them are 12 panel drug tests, with added testings for tramadol, prescription drugs, alcohol, synthetic drugs and so on. So...

7. Hopes for the New Year???

   noctanol replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Other than the date, is there anything that changes. I'll be asleep whenever the new year gets here. Have to be up at 4, and continue with the requirements of the draconian Texas BON. So, nothing...

8. this should be interesting..

   noctanol replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Call me stupid but I've googled it and there's no contract that allows drinking. If it's an error then you're in big trouble. Just because it doesn't mention alcohol doesn't mean you can partake in...

9. Need advice from my fellow nurses in recovery!

   noctanol replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

   As far as pee tests, are you in a rural area?? If not, find a lab that will send someone to you or one that tests after hours or early in the morning. If you work in a hospital then use your labs, it...

10. Does a Pyxis have the capability to restrict Narcotics to a user?

    noctanol replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This whole warm body deal is pure BS, excuse my French. I did plenty of assessments, discharge teachings, paperwork and so on in exchange of me not being able to pass narcs. In addition, I could...

11. RN in IPN waiting for HR

    noctanol replied to Tuts00RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Rule number one, NEVER EVER tell HR about your order, NEVER. 99% of the staff have zero knowledge of board orders, all they know is you are bad for the company. Only tell the person interviewing you,...

12. "Recovery" and public shaming

    noctanol posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've tried but without success to see the point of why state boards post board orders for everyone to see. Has this been shown/proved to increase the recovering nurses morale, spirits or hasten their...

13. Living Will Tattoo

    noctanol replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read the replies nor did I read that article so this may be a repetition of answers already given. My 2 cents, tattooing DNR or no intubation is not an actual living will though. There has...

14. Switching fields

    noctanol posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone looked into switching from Nursing to Occupational therapy or Physical therapy. As a certified occupational therapy assistant, the pay is not that different from an RN, and yes, pay is...

15. Suportive Advertising ?

    noctanol replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't post then get mad for honest replies. Anyway, I'm not an alcoholic but isn't alcohol everywhere from every gas station, every wing place, pizza joints, Walmart, grocery stores and so on. If...
