Hi All, I wrote a long time ago and told my story, I had diverted meds back in 2004 and was arrested in 2005, went to court in 2006 and was placed on probabtion and completed it successfully. I had already completed the BON program for 1 year in 2005...

Actually pollyanna, I did not self referral. I was interviewed because of a pyxis activity, I did not take a drug test on the spot, denied taking the meds and did take a drug test 2 days later but since I recieved a letter from the attorney generals ...

I hate to tell you this but this happened to me, I diverted from work in May in 2004 and I was arrested in Nov 2005 after I had successfully completed a 1 yr recovery agreement with the nurse recovery, I thought that chapter of my life was behind me....

hi, unfortunately, I was on the bad side of the problem, I completed the nurse recovery program which costs over 3,000, then got arrested during a traffic stop 1 1/2 yr later after completing the program and then was placed on probation for another ...

I'm curious, did you have a hard time getting a job once you had a criminal past in the nursing field?

hi, i also suffer from major depression, bipolar and my depression has gotten worse as Ive gotten older, i fight suicidal thoughts everyday and i hate to say it but since ive been a nurse, i think that has also contributed to my depression....glad to...

its true i was arrested a yr and a half later,,,,i hope it works out for u cause after all i went through to keep my license,ican't get a job with a misdeamnor of theft, it really sucks

Hi all, I just wanted to tell you all a few things about my situation and see what you thought. 1st of all, my memory short and long term has gotten ridiculosis, I can't remember things with my children in them or sometimes I get lost/confused and ca...

hi, i would also talk to your supervisor about your concerns but if they are willing to keep you on the same hall, i think that woould help you get a routine down, also before your report, go through the mars and write things down to keep you organi...

hi pair, after you got arrested, did u have to wait a certain amount of time before you were able to get a job with your background check? I was convicted for theft a misdeamnor in april 06 and now I can't get a job...

hi, I also had a bad 1st hospital job at a local hospital, I was a new LPN and the Rn's there did not hide there 'contempt" for having to "cover" for the LPN and thanks to that situation, I never returned to work in a hospital and hav'e worked agency...

Congrats on becoming a nurse:) Remember how excited you are to be a nurse and remember to be the best nurse you can be:) God Bless

Just wanted to give u some support...I would suggest that u find another field you worked in before you became a nurse, even if it doesn't pay as well, at least being out of the nursing field for awhile will keep temptation down...unfortunatley we do...

Hi everyone, I realize by posting my story, Im going to probably get some mean,uncaring feedback from people who like to judge and think he/she is above having an "addiction" but at the same time, if I can help 1 nurse or professional from having to ...

Hi Ms papa, I appreciate your story...I had back pain and was put on methodone twice a day 20 mg in the am, 20mg at night, I was also on loratab 7.5mg 2 tabs every 6 hours prn for over a year..I agree on the methodone, my back felt better, closer to ...

hi sweet jelly, I live in indiana but if you can't access the website through here try california health professions bureau and see what happens.

Thank you for the suggestion of a Dr's office, the problem is I hardly see classifieds for them but I will keep trying:) I can use all the prayers anyone wants to send me:) At his point, I think making $12/hr is better than 2.13/hr and hoping I can g...

This website has all the DOH web sites and phone numbers, just click on the resources tab on the top of this page on the right and click on your state...good luck:)

Well, Im sorry to hear that but its better for you to get a position that works for you and I hate to say it, when you work in assisted living, they don't require cpr because if someone codes, your just supposed to call "911"..I think you don't get t...

Hi all.. I wanted to tell everyone I wish when I was on the ISNAP program and working through all of this, I knew about this site because even though Ive been down with not being able to find a job, bills, stress, etc...I really appreciate all of the...

hi, thanks for giving me that good advice, I know u aren't supposed to tie yourself to your job but being a RN is my passion, i really felt like I have helped a lot of people and even though they may never remember my name, they will remember the lov...

Thank you, I see that my story was read 16 times, and your the only one who commented on it...I realized its uncomfortable to read a story like mine but the reason I shared it with everyone was to hopefully help someone from making a very bad decisio...

As everyone has already told you, you did not conduct yourself professionally, however, hopefully by now, you have spoken to your DON and explained what was going on and hopefully it worked out for you. I would never in a million years, tell a new nu...

when I was a brand new LPN at a hospital, if I didn't know something, I would ask another nurse, rather than save face and look smarter than I actually was. A few nurses told my supervisor that I wasn't "safe" to be on the floor and my supervisor sai...

Congratulations! I wish the best for you and your new job!
