  1. ** JUST STARTING IPN **

    SouthernPoint replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IPN Try's to do the honor system with the AA/NA meetings. But I have seen where they have "Requested" a signed attendance sheet. My advise for you. FIND a meeting that you enjoy. It might take you a...

  2. TPAPN and EtG

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

    I am in Florida and we only see if our test results are Positive or Negative. If the test is positive we won't know what for until our case worker call's

  3. Help here

    SouthernPoint replied to Gonesilent13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sorry, But his wife should NEVER have used needles, empty or partly empty vials in her pocket, bag or purse. I have been so slammed at work that I have tossed things into my pocket, but I have never...

  4. Help here

    SouthernPoint replied to Gonesilent13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WOW!! Gonesilent13 comes here for some answers and guidance and you go all squirrel monkey on him. That was totally uncalled for. All I see from your reply is "Hide, Lie & Deny". I honestly do...

  6. Do nurses get fired often?

    SouthernPoint replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. Nurse Calling In Scripts to Pharmacy Illegally

    SouthernPoint replied to nurse42long's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to disagree with you here, but she needs to "Step in it". Since that nurse already called in a script for her she is already involved. If the OP has NEVER seen the so-called prescribing MD, how...

  8. TPAPN Drug Testing and Work Hours

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

    Let me try to understand this. You are a nurse working as a nurse and are in a state ordered program which requires monitoring and you do not need to inform your employer of this program or the...

  9. TPAPN Drug Testing and Work Hours

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

    I believe with any monitoring program, if you are selected for a UDS you "Must" go. Your employer should already know about your program or should know. If they accepted this contract as part of your...

  10. Lee Memorial Internship Program

    SouthernPoint replied to pugmom79's topic in Florida Nursing

    And in a previous post you stated you have heard nothing but good things about them. Maybe this is your wake up

  11. Lee Memorial Health System Job Fair

    SouthernPoint replied to tokidoki7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Why do I say this, because I have seen it 1st hand. LMH will offer you unicorns and rainbows, then they snag you with their hook. Most of the nurse's there will eat their young and not thing twice...

  12. Lee Memorial Health System Job Fair

    SouthernPoint replied to tokidoki7's topic in Florida Nursing

    The Lee Memorial Monolpolizing Vultures fish everywhere they can to find Nurse's. They pitch a great song and dance, hook you in and they will eventually rip your spine out and beat you with it. Just...

  13. Moving to Ft. Myers Area, Curious about RN jobs

    SouthernPoint replied to Danarn0218's topic in Florida Nursing

    Let me see what I can answer. I have not seen a major pay difference between AS or BSN degrees in the Ft. Myers area. There are only 2 systems in the Ft. Myers area. Lee Memorial Health Systems...

  14. How does the hospital position and narcotic restrictions work?

    SouthernPoint replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I work on a Med/Surg/Tele floor and I have a restriction. My employer knew of my restriction when they interviewed me and hired me. I know of 5 other nurse's who are in IPN and a couple of them do...

  15. I got fired today, how will that affect my chances?

    SouthernPoint replied to Nurseadam's topic in General Nursing

    Wow.. Nurseadam was just confessing, looking for support and asking a question. Look at the bullying going on in here by 1/2 of the people replying. And most of these bullying post come from people...

  16. Online Support Group

    SouthernPoint posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have been surfing the internet for a while now looking to see if there are any type of online support groups for nurses and I have had no luck. Does anyone out there know of one? If not does anyone...

  17. Online Support Group

    SouthernPoint replied to SouthernPoint's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This site is awesome. What I am looking for is a site where there is "Live" chat. Guess I should have said that to start with. I would just like to be able to have more ways to be able to talk with...

  18. Hair follicle testing??

    SouthernPoint replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ok, Personally I don't give a dam about whether you think smoking pot is right or wrong. This is not the correct forum to be having that debate. Now, I do have a problem with you stating the above...

  19. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    SouthernPoint replied to Honest&Hopeful&Hur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have made a comment in one of the other threads you have asked in. But here it goes again. IPN doesn't just go off of a Drug Screen (whether it's a UDS or Hair test). They go off of what the...

  20. Hair follicle testing??

    SouthernPoint replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Again. WOW. It is people like you who make it harder for the Recovering Nurse. Just would like to Thank You ahead of time. Also, I am not sure where you get your information about "Only police UDS"...

  21. cna looking for some advice in south florida

    SouthernPoint replied to michaelag's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not sure where in South Florida you are. I started out as a CNA and worked my way up. I have only had 2 employer's but each one of them did my PPD and clearance. If you contact your previous employer...

  22. IPN questions, please help!

    SouthernPoint replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not sure where you got your information, but you are very much so incorrect. IPN will follow someone who IS NOT an ADDICT. If you are being "Referred" to IPN then there is an issue some where....

  23. Hair follicle testing??

    SouthernPoint replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have done the hair test for IPN. The hair test looks back at a 3 month period or longer. Depends on your hair length. Since mine is long and I don't mess with chemicals in my hair. My test showed...

  24. Hair follicle testing??

    SouthernPoint replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WOW. What a friend you are. You claim you are "Helping" him. You are not "Helping" him, you are enabling him. You are basically just as guilty as he is. You are finding ways for him to lie, cheat and...

  25. Lehigh Regional Medical Center

    SouthernPoint replied to qt2168's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes. I worked for the "Toxic Hospital" for many years. I can tell you that "Most" of the so-called "Transfers" you get are from the ED. So since Lehigh isn't a specialized hospital, than I can see...
