These days, I am profoundly grateful to be dealing with a very messy, difficult family matter (involving my son & granddaughter- not mine, or my hubby's) in a very calm, clean & sober, rational manner! It really helps to have my emotions & reactions stable & sane!

@ catsmeow- I "liked" your posts above- not because I like what has happened to you, but because the truth needs to be posted for those new to the recovery process. I am so sorry about what has happened to you- it is most unfortunate & detrimental to you- having only tried to do the right thing for yourself & your nursing career. I can only hope & pray for a positive outcome in the long run for you.....

In TPAPN- quite a few years ago- I got approved to work nights. It had been my regular shift before, & I had spent some time on days, but then was allowed to go back to nightshift.
Liberty- it sounds like you are in a fortunate position- to not have to take a job just to get through your monitoring period. Best of luck- keep us posted!

taking all things in to consideration- bottom line- being on Subox, even with an Rx from a doc (which might cover you for a drug screen)- most BON's will not allow any nurse to work while on Subox- even if you wean off & they ever find out about it- could be bad news for you. I would tread very carefully- get info ahead of time from your school & anonomously from your anticipated BON, if possible. Best of luck to you- & definintely keep your recovery first & foremost- your life depends on it!!
