Has anyone else been having issue's with their new MRO. I have a biological issue that IPN has been given documentation on since I started in the program back in 2010, Everything has been 100% ok. That is until this new MRO came into the picture. IPN...

Well it's been a while. So here is an update of what has happen with me since Aug 2014, it is going to be long. I finally tossed in the towel with both IPN and the BON around Aug/Sept 2014. I had 2 different medical doctor's diagnosis for my conditio...

Not sure what state you are in, but in Florida we have legal POA paperwork. Questions: Do you have paperwork making you her legal POA? If so, was this paperwork turned into the hospital when your mom was admitted? Was the MD aware of a POA and did ...

I view it as someone who doesn't truely like their employement and wants to be fired for "Destruction of Property". Yes, I have seen someone for a stunt basically like this. Sorry this is happening.

Wow, your manager had to call you and remind you to renew your license because HR called her about it. Then you decided to go online and renew at that time. That right there shows you have some poor decision making skills. Honestly you should thank ...

Nope. Not one bit, honestly. I am more like *** at this point and so over it all. I went into IPN with years of documentation from my Specialist over my condition. IPN wrote this into my contract. Everything has been totally ok with IPN and the previ...

JustBeachyNurse nailed it.

Hello gatornurse06ipn, I can try to help with some of your questions/concerns. Are you currently working in the healthcare field? When you received your RX for the Ultram did you contact your casework ASAP? Yes, your doctor will have some paperwork ...

No I don't. Sorry. I call it like I see it. I get so tired of the wah wah's from people when they screw up and them spending way more time blaming everyone else instead of just maning up and dealing with it. Also, yeah her manager might have had all ...

You waited until the last minute to renew and now you are upset because this happened? Seriously? You know basically 2 years in advance of when you need to renew. It's not like it jumped out from the shadows on the 29th. Sorry, suck it up and learn ...

Jumper cables and strong bi-ceps. In all seriously, you do not need a kit. That is what the EMT's get paid for.

Texting you to come in. Reguardless if you're on vacation or not. Am I the only one who find that 100% unprofessional. I never give my employer my cell number. I give them my land line and thats it.

I am sorry but I am so totally confused with your statement. You were prescribed a narcotic for the flu, your in a recovery program for narcotics and you got the narcotic prescription filled, but forgot to report it. Questions: If you have "Never" f...

Are you serious? There are easly 5 nurses with in my nurse support group who all failed pre-employement sceeens that got reported to the BON and were referred over to our states Impaired Nurse Program. So where ever or whom ever told you this totally...

Just a little FYI. Some recovery programs frown on the use of these check in companies. I know when I check in my IPS address and/or phone number is recorded and logged. They do have the power to block IPS/Numbers from their system. But in all honest...

It should be ok. Just keep a positive outlook on everything. If you get a call from the MRO, dont panic. Give them all the info on the drug including ordering MD. Wishing you the best of luck.

Because it is not the job of the testing site to get involved in ones scripts. That is why the do not care about what medications you are taking. They only care that they have the correct person pee'ing in the cup. The MRO's, job is to call you if th...

Your test mine come back positive. But as long as it's a RX for you by a MD and you can prove this you honestly should be ok. If positive a MRO might call you and speak to you about what RX's you are taking. This is when you would tell about your RX...

You need to see if your current state has an impaired program and get in it ASAP. You are in major jeopardy of having your license supsended or pulled. Those actions will follow you and haunt you. Fix it NOW.

I have been swabbed twice in 14 years due to patient issues. Wasn't a big deal. I was more than happy that someone was looking out for themselves or me. I got a couple of days off with pay and free abx's. Yeah me.

Nope. They consider them a medication and no medications are allowed in pockets. At my hospital that includes alcohol wipes.

Ya think? When one is under a contract they are to remain absence from all mind altering chemicals. Why would you think you could drink wine while under a contract?

If the nurse is in a recovery program the answer is NO. Anything that is considered mind altering is a NO NO.
