Hi all......I haven't been on here for quite a long time now. I've been trying to get my life back on track. I have been thru soooooo much.......but NOW things are starting to move ahead. I was getting so depressed about hitting a brick wall at every...

I guess it depends on what state you are in and your BON requirements. You'll most likely have some hoops to jump through. As long as you are serious about your sobriety, do the next right thing, and comply with the BON's requirements, it should work...

I think I missed the reply that was removed. Addiction/alcoholism is documented by the AMA as a disease. My personal thought is that as long as no one was "physically" hurt by the actions of the "user" and they want and seek help, they should get it ...

Your words are very encouraging, Exnursie. Thank You. The treatment facility that I was in last year only hire if one in recovery has 2 years. So I've got about 11 months to go before I could work there....even as a tech, or in dietary, or in houseke...

Congratulations! My daughter is grown and I laugh at my 11 yr old grd dtr and 2 1/2 yr old gr son when they do things like she used to do. They all grow up sp fast and the blessings are when I can enjoy them clean and sober!

A lot of great suggestions here. I'm leaning towards trying to eventually work in a treat/rehab facility. I would love to help people the way I was helped.

A lot of encouraging comments here. It's too bad that after so much time in recovery, you are having to deal with the wreckage of your past again. But you are doing what you need to do to get thru it all and have so much support. But I was also wonde...

I'm not sure I would have wanted to stay at that particular hospital under those circumstances. However, that was her choice, she was still a patient there and deserved the best treatment just as much as any other other patient there. The other nurse...

Requirements are different for different states. Good Luck!

I went to Owens Technical College (now named Owens Community College) in Toledo (graduated in 1990). They also have an excellent preparation for the NCLEX. It is an ADN program. Sorry I don't know about Marion or any other schools in Ohio. But I can ...

Thank you for your post, Jackstem. I am not aware of a lot of places who can be of assistance....as I have been finding out. I will check it out.

The thing is that we try to move on, we try to put the past behind us, and we try to do the next right thing. The problem is that others don't see that. All they see is the PAST! It sucks! There are too many people out there who are biased and judgem...

When you find out what you want, please let me know. I am going after a doctor, pharmacist, and hospital for violating the federal HIPAA law with me! I'll be interested to know what you find out and so will my attorney. Thanks!

I did the same thing with the IV Dilaudid where I worked at. My patients always got what they were suppose to have and I kept what was suppose to be wasted. I tried to quit on my own a few times without success. I would get so sick trying to stop and...

Be careful when you're with her. It sounds like a problem to me. :beercuphe

Somehow I managed to lose everything I just wrote, so I'll try again! My daughter said she updated you and then did not get back on this forum because she didn't feel like she was suppose to be since she is not a nurse. So she didn't get back on to s...

Hi all......This is Wubbzy....I was looking things over and saw what my daughter wrote here (didn't know until now) and I did not get any of your messages...lol...."KIDS"....but I'm glad my daughter updated you all about me. I thought I was going to ...

I've done piggybacks when they have another maintenance line running, otherwise just give it straight and flush before and after.

Congratulations to you!!!

I was just wondering why you are upset about having to do a breathalyzer and drug screen......Maybe you don't "deserve" it, but you can do those tests without worrying if it is positive or negative if you are not using. I would welcome the tests...if...

I would appreciate prayers for today. I am off to court this morning. I need all the support I can get! Thanks! DANGGGGGGGGGGGGGG....I HATE this!!!!!

Most applications ask if you have been "convicted" of a felony. It doesn't ask if you were charged or went thru a diversion program. If the charge was dismissed, I wouldn't think it would even be an issue. Good Luck!

Congratulations on the NH willing to hire you! My sponsor is CONSTANTLY reminding me to stay HUMBLE. :chuckle

Thank you everyone for all your support and prayers and comments. This morning, I went to the probation office. The person I met with is not my PO. She told me that she is a probation pre-sentence investigator. She goes thru everything and tells the ...

I was going to move to BC a few years ago and was facing the same with getting a license there. I ended up not going, so ended up not worrying about it. Good Luck!
