Hello Everyone, I need your advice ASAP!!! My last urine sample submitted returned "abnormal!" I called the BON immediately to find out whatthe details were, and they said that my urine was "not human!" WOW!!! I am to the point now where I believe th...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your input regarding my dilemma. Since I've last posted, the BON has summoned me to have 2 separate blood draws, a hair test, and several random ua's all at different times. All tests returned negative, but the board still thr...

Thanks for your reply Jack! Since my last post, the board has ordered blood tests, more U/A's and a hair sample! Honestly, I have nothing to hide nor will they ever find anything, because there is nothing to find! I am beginning to think it's more of...

As I've stated in previous posts, I am an experienced RN with 20+ years of nursing in my heart:redbeathe! I came to a sudden impasse with the LSBN and was investigated, challenged and left for dead:sniff:! Although a previous manager, colleagues, an...

Hi Sissiemama, Please check your pm!

Hi iluvhrts, I am not in the RNP, however, my license has been restricted: random drug screens, having to work under the supervision of an RN, and completion of 20 legal/ethical CE's. I am sure it would be better for me if I did have a physical suppo...

Thanks for the encouragement! Giving up is NOT an option! God speed:heartbeat

Great! Headed to the site now! Thanks OCNRN63

I am searching for free ce's related to the topic "Legal/Ethical and Professional Issues For Nurses." Can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Thanks chicookie! I'll check it out!

I frequent this site quite often, but there is a limited amount of Legal/Ethical nursing issues provided. I am speaking of articles required by the LSBN. They require us to submit 20 CEU related to Legal/Ethical issues in nursing within six months of...

Hi Learninglessons12, Contrary to popular belief, the waterfall thing does not work for me! Nor does the running water, tears, watery mouth, thoughts of the ocean, rain, or olympic swimming pool! For whatever reason, my body freezes up whenever I am...

I tried to hold myself once and almost had an accident! I actually went before they called my name, because I couldn't wait any longer. I ended up staying at the testing site for 2 hours, drank 3 cups of water, and my test still came back abnormal! T...

the important thing is that you made it through your interview with confidence! i am proud that you were collected when the tone of the interview changed. that has happened to me countless times, but you know what? if the hiring manager changes his/h...

Please be encouraged Isabelle. This is an unfortunate situation that has happened with your daughter, but she must move forward. Needless to say, the BON can be very challenging when it comes to care of the public. Despite the fact that your daughter...

Hi, I'm in LA. Don't know too much about TPAPN, but all programs are just about the same. I have had a few abnormal test results due to overdiluted urine. My CM suggested that I test upon first void, which is impossible! When I arise in the morning, ...

Be encouraged my fellow nursemate! I understand that Davita is a recovery friendly place, and you should do well with your interview. As with anything that poses a challenge, take a deep breath, relax, think about your future, and be yourself! Grace ...

Hello Backtowork, Like others have stated, after checking in, random testing usually starts right away! In LA, we test 7 days per week/365/yr! It's a good idea to check in as early as possible. If you are going out of town, check your list for testin...

Thanks Karen!

How do we deter the thought process of these "said" individuals? If the ADA and other organizations can back indidviduals with circumstances such as ourselves, why haven't they done so? The comments, posts, stories, ideas, etc. has helped me persona...

This situation is most unfortunate! I have been a nurse for over 15 years, and the pride and dignity that we have when we become nurses does not have to go out the window when our insufficiencies are exposed. I worked as a med/surg director once, a...

greetings all, i just entered a la board consent order and have been devastated throughout the process! i tested (+) for thc on a pre-employment drug screen, and it has been downhill ever since! i have been unemployed for 2 months now and have been u...

Thanks tokmom. I truly understand your frustrations, because our nurses are in the same boat. Quality patient care is significantly being affected due to our shortages. However, I have to say, most of our nurses are troopers. We have a pretty good te...

We run a high acuity 42-bed med-surg/tele unit. HPPD has been decreased, and we need help establishing a good staffing matrix. Trying not to reinvent the wheel here! Thanks in advance!
