  4. Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

  5. Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    TXRN2 replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    TXRN2 replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    HunnieBadger: i am so sorry that happened to you- it's so inexcusable, it's hard to even know what to say. so many things we have to do in this process are so very difficult & painful- it...

  12. admitted diverting, freaking out

    TXRN2 replied to 1999nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    for me, that freaking out feeling lasted a long time. & yes, it is hard to wait- not knowing what is coming up. but, that's all you can do- wait, then do whatever they tell you- to a "T". it's...

    TXRN2 replied to Callahan, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    i, too, remained apprehensive the whole time- until i could look up that test result & see that all was well. i was 100% clean- so i had no worries there, but i did have a couple of dilutes, which...

    TXRN2 replied to Callahan, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Callahan- i have never heard of early release from TPAPN- & hadn't even heard of EEP until you popped up here- my common sense says "no"- considering both programs are relatively short- but, like...
