Well said. I have been on it since 2006 .Some may say I am weak and still using but since I only answer to myself I say I am almost eight years in recovery. I can honestly say I have not used any iligal narcotics.i have no cravings and have gone from...

I am in my 6th year. I unfortunatly wasnt so lucky finding a job. it took me three plusyears ti get back in nursing. i am however working in a ltc facility and have been there 3 years which one of I had to work as a aid to get back in their good gra...

I am interested and will research this issue more. but in this case resident was definatly faking,seeing how her seizure stopped immediately and she never had one since.also had many other behavior issues. I also wish you the best.

I had a women who also used to fake seizures I finally had to say in a nice way. I am not sure whaT YOU ARE HAVING BUT IT COUldnt be a seizure dear,I know this because you wouldnt be able to talk through a seizure nor would you be able to stop and wr...

I looked to see if there was already a thread on this subject. And I saw no recent ones so I thought I would start another one. I have been on Suboxone for almost 4 years without a single relapse. I have been fortunate to get my career as a nurse bac...

Ftoll24; I here yout having trouble getting off your last mg. why dont you try tapering slowly maybe .75 mg for a month then .5 mg then .25 or even two months. i think the people who have problems are just stopping 1mg to quickly. good luck.and...

i agree with the above posts when they say if you chose to smoke full well knowing what it could cost you then you may have a problem. there is a nurse in my group who just came to our group for using mj. she stated she did not have a problem. she st...

Wow,did you ever think this thread would get so many posts,maybe we should print them out and put a copy in everyone of our facilities!!

do you have a union? if so tghey may be able to helpyou. they can fire you if you were under the influence.good luck,let us know how you make out.

agency makes more but still not as much as nyc

The pay is half of what you get in nyc. their are mostly long term care positions. and rn' make about 25 dollars a hour. not two much more but i guess it depends on your experience and where you apply.

as far as i know suboxone will not come out on a random emplyment drug screen. it has to be listed and is expensive. it will not show up as a regular narcotic. at least it never used to. I suggest you dont say anythin unless asked. I agree with other...

I am not sure how far you wanna go to work as a nurse again but i worked as a cna(nursing asst) for eight months to prove what a reliable trusted valuable employee i could be. it paid off I am now working as a LPN on a unit with 40 beds where I am t...

maybe they wont report it to the bon and as long as you no longer smoke may be o.k. I would not make any calls until you know for sure. Trust me you dont want to be involved with the TPAPN if you dont have to. and if you can afford it get a lawyer if...

I may work for you but since you are on medicaid "I ALSO PAY FOR YOU!"And "NO I AM NOT YOUR PRIVATE NURSE" "I HAVE 39 OTHER PATIENTS ON THIS FLOOR"!. THIS IS A LONG TERM CARE FACILITY NOT A HOTEL!" BOY THANKS, IT FELT SO GOOD TO SAY THAT NOW IF ONLY ...

I love my job, But not so much the politics. I will never again take my job for granted again. I ran into some problems years ago. I had gotten myself hooked on narcotic pain pills. I volenterily turned in my license> I had been in the program for...

I know of a nurse who is in the proffesional assiatance program who lives in NY she is on suboxone for almost 4 years and has been doing wonderful she is working a slow taper and has gone grom 32 mg to 14mg .without it i do not think she would have m...

This may sound stupid but what is the OIG exclusion list and how do you find out if you are on it.

Congradulations, I am happy all your hardwork paid off. I know how great you feel. I remeber when I first got my job I could not believe it. I had waited 3 years and 8 months although my problem was more then just pot.But I did work hard the whole ti...

I would not worry to much. In my experiance in the nursing home were i work if they want your attention they will through whatever is handy at you like a bed pan,water pitcure..... Only Kidding. I hope you can work that out.

does it display bowel sounds, have you checked with nursing schools to see if they accept deaf students. I bet you can overcome this hurdle as I am sure you overcame many hurdles in your life so far.

Unfortunately I do not believe they take any special considerations for disability. Maybe you can get in another medical field such as phlebotomy. I do not know of any school you would be able to graduate from. I do know that we could sure use some o...

Congradulations on your graduating RN school and good luck with the nyclex. I am a Lpn and dont remeber that being on our test but i am sure rn is different.

That seems like a great website with all kinds of health information. the website i mentioned has a forum where others post there own experience, I know I got allot of information and support. It is like a on line NA meeting.They also have a on line ...
