@ whatever comes: I'm not sure what prompted you to pick up an old thread & post as you did. I personally think you need to take your own advice before going off on a rant & bashing others. Bottom line, it doesn't matter one bit what you- or anyone else- thinks. Marijuana is illegal in the eyes of the BON & you can lose your license over it. End of story.

Txnursegal78: Yeppers, it is hard! But, if this is what you truly want, you have no choice other than to comply. Just continue to put one foot in front of the other, & do the next right thing. Try not to look at the whole big picture- just the next thing you have to do. Yes, three years is a long time- & the program is very costly, but the 3 years will fly by- believe it or not! Hang in there- soon it will all become routine. Do not allow yourself to wallow in the "what-ifs"! & don't let anything be bad enough to pick up or use again!

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!

I have no idea what you should expect- but want to wish you all the best! Take care of yourself & the baby!! I'm happy for you!

@ SleeepyRN & roser13- I so very much agree- this reply was un-necessarily snarky!! & not helpful at all!

@ 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.

@ajg1117- it would be helpful if we know what state, & what area of that state, you are in! Welcome!

so very glad for you! congrats!! does your TPAPN start now- or you already in that process?

ummm.....did you read the previous couple of posts?? js...

Oma: I, too, am sorry to hear this....wishing you all the best...hang in there....take care!

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!

Omaapecm- please keep us posted! Keep your positive attitude- we are all just human! Take care, my friend!!

Yeppers- parts of Texas are a big ole mess right now! So very glad this worked out so well for you!! So nice to hear!!
