  1. Well ain't this a ******

    noctanol replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'll do that but in the meantime I'm back to begging. That's what hurting. I remember going on interviews and telling them I'd take LVN pay working as an RN just to get this thing over and done

  2. Well ain't this a ******

    noctanol replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What do you mean by sitting out? My stipulations state I have to be supervised and drug test for 3 years. If I sit home then whenever I go back to work then it starts from where I left. I know people...

  3. Well ain't this a ******

    noctanol replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in the process of trying to get back but it's even harder for me to get back in as a former employee, they know I want to leave or will leave them, it's hard to go back because another company...

  4. Well ain't this a ******

    noctanol replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Catsmeow, I drove 200+ miles (one way from Houston to Dallas) twice for this job, and I laid it out in front of them, we went over all the stipulations and she was fine with it. I had a job that she...

  5. Drug diversion and tnpap

    noctanol replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Stop smoking, go loo for a job, wait to hear from the board. This is a lengthy process. It may/will take up to a year or

  6. oklahoma peer employment

    noctanol replied to 1nurse4you's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Apply everywhere, this whole deal of "hospitals don't hire" is pure nonesense, trust me. They do hire, depends on how desperate they are, if they've been burnt before by a nurse that was on a...

  7. Drug diversion and tnpap

    noctanol replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Im sorry to have to give this advice but get a lawyer and be prepared to lie. From my experience and most of the people I've talked to, honesty will be the nail on your coffin with BONs. You may have...

  8. Cautionary Tale

    noctanol replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would have missed the drug test and got a lawyer ASAP. I'm in Texas and the laws are so draconian that I will have a lawyer for the next 3 years. One would be stupid to think they can fight any...

  9. Probation violation with PEth test

    noctanol replied to Hope36280's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I haven't even read the comments but are you serious??? You're on probation, drank, went to drug test and wonder what will happen? If you were in Texas, you would have your license suspender and...

  10. exception from the board

    noctanol replied to barbs23's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Some times you are better off just riding the waves than having someone who may or may not think highly of you, look at your file once again. Is there any reason you want out other than the money...

  11. exception from the board

    noctanol replied to barbs23's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not to break your bubble but you do know TPAPN is a major source of money for some people. My lawyer told me not to even think about requesting an exception unless it to become charge nurse or to not...

  12. Disciplinary Action HELP!!

    noctanol replied to CynthiaArr's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In Texas all health care related license's are linked, searchable. Are you screwed? It's a yes and no answer. I know you'll have a lot of explaining to do. Usually once a license is revoked/cancelled...

  15. Voluntary surrender..cant find work

    noctanol replied to FreakedRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Can you please give more information as to your surrender. How can you be unrestricted if you surrendered your license? If you need meaningful answers, provide more info, otherwise you'll get answers...

  16. Discouraged TPAPN Nurse

    noctanol replied to TexasNurse2014's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't mean to sound rude but why don't TPAPN and other nurses on probation help each other on here in regards to jobs/work. I'm also looking for a job, any position. I had a thread where I asked for...

  17. Any narcotic anonymous/opiate support groups in Texas

    noctanol posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does anyone know of any support groups in Texas. I want to attend anonymously. The one I attend at memorial Herman is trash. Don't go there if you have a problem, you'll end up a heroin addict. I've...

  18. Travelling and Spectrum/Alliance

    noctanol replied to TKsprivatenurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Because it's business, nothing else. Labs from Texas have to be sent to California or so they say. The chemical dependancy evaluation is also big business, I payed $800 after using a doc not on the...

  19. Who, at your job, knows about your monitoring status?

    noctanol replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If it's fresenius then everyone knows. They keep it "family" in there. I did three months with them and everyone from the manager to the CNA''s knew I was a "drug addict," it didn't bother me much but...

  20. Negative UDS.. how on earth???

    noctanol replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This may sound weird but I know (as of this year) of 2 nurses that were drink during testing and still passed, I also know of a nurse who swears she hasn't had a drunk in 15 or so years and it wasn't...

  21. KNAP is D.U.M.B

    noctanol replied to Short LPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't get it. You got a board order and because they won't let you out early, then they are dumb?? Please remember that board members visit or are members of allnurses too. Be careful what you...

  22. Bad messed up

    noctanol replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ok, first of don't listen to anyone that says give up your license. I don't want to use any insults. Second, if this is your 1st offense then the likely hood of you going to jail or even getting the...

  23. tpapn pay

    noctanol replied to 1nurse4you's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lmao. I don't mean this in a bad way but expect to be on the lowest of the lowest tier of pay. I know an lvn making 16/hr from 26/hr before getting in this situation. Just to get you acclimated. You...

  24. Negative hair follicle test

    noctanol replied to Kmrn27's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What state are you in?? If it's Texas you can work even under investigation. If BON suspects anything, it will be 2 years before you get an

  25. Finding work after termination?

    noctanol replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I totally miss your point. Nurses get terminated everyday for a number of "stupid" reasons. If she doesn't have a board order then she can apply to another job with no issue. Maybe she needs to "omit"...
