    sl33y posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just wanted to know how often you get selected for testing. I am really short on money and need to budget an amount for these random drug screens. Any info would be greatly

  2. How does your BON know your working?

    sl33y posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just curious... I recieved a letter stating I can return to licensed RN work but they need to have all the employer info first. How would they even know if I was working or not if I don't send them...

  3. How does your BON know your working?

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, I am living in a very small town and can't find work. I am cuurently working as an unlicensed healthcare worker for crappy pay. I don't know what to do. I am actually thinking of just giving up...

  4. False positives??

    sl33y replied to sissiesmama's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, I can tell you, after working in laboratory settings for over 7 years, that IA drug screens are NOT 100% accurate. That is why there is confirmation on non-negative tests with GC/MS (which is...

  6. How does your BON know your working?

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not chancing it, because I won't do what I am asking. I just find it interesting that I doubt the BON would know where or if you are working unless you tell them. As far as unemployment, you have...

    sl33y posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was fired last week for diversion. I am so ****** at myself and can't believe this has happened. The hospital is not pressing charges against me as they know me and my character and work ethic was...

  9. I need help and a have a few questions...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone and I am doing VERY well! Still haven't heard of anything from DEA/legal problems (wheeew!). I am starting to come to peace with what happened and I hope to return...

  10. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for the kind words! I am really thinking a lot about going back to school (for IT, my other true love). I am still active in my recovery and am going to stay that way- with PA's VRP or not! I...

  11. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Quick update... I have been tested twice in the past 5 days. Ugh. I don't think I will be able to keep my license - I don't have $300/month to spend on drug tests. AND, trying to get a hold of my case...

    Please PLEASE do take someone that is in recovery with you if you go! I know you may think you'll be good and won't dring but our disease of addiction can throw intellect and logic right out the...

  13. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for all the replies! I guess I'm looking at $100 - $150 per month. That sucks. I can't believe it costs almost as much to collect the specimen as it does for the lab to run it! I worked in lab...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey, everyone! Things are going well - I just started outpatient tx and am going to 2-3 NA meetings per week. I also got a job offer doing PCT work in a Dialysis center, so I guess I'll have some...

    sl33y replied to SassyErRn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good luck, chief! You will be fine as long as you stay clean. Keep looking for a job and if all else fails, file for unemployment - you'll win because you were terminated for something you didn't...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ^ Settle down, there! My facility DID report me, it's just that they are not pressing charges. That doesn't mean someone else won't (ie DEA, etc). I HAVE indeed started treatment and applied for my...

    sl33y replied to wubbzydtr's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I went back and read her OP... So, what happened to probation? I guess they did end up taking a harder stance with her instead of PO/outpatient treatment. Whatever the case, I hope she is ok and does...

    Thanks again, bedpan! I am beginning to feel better, although the fear of my situation comes and goes at times. One day at a time, right? YOU ALL HAVE BEEN GREAT AND I AM DEEPLY GREATFUL FOR YOUR...

    sl33y replied to chaotic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    AWESOME!! I hope that you are doing well and I am in the same boat - job hunting! I can sustain about 2 months with no employment. After that, it is going to be tough. Problem is I live in a small...
