  1. Suspended without notice

    This is one example of the many circumstances that keep me from putting my heart and soul back into a nursing career. Look into accounting. The hateful old crones who hold the keys to the nursing...
  2. Sobriety and nursing school interviews

    Congrats to you for having such a resiliant spirit. I guess that nursing is in your heart, but don't be discouraged if the hateful old crones don't let you into the kingdom. There are other things...
  3. getting hit from all sides

    Arnie might have made better use of his time by working on his personal problems before creating them for his
  4. Please Help...should I self report?

    I'll take that comment more seriously when American RN's have the same recovery resources available to them that British celebrities
  5. I think prospective employers would be far more comfortable with, "I was on probation because I was dependent on pain medication 5 years ago" as opposed to "I stole drugs from
  6. What am I being tested for?

    I can't answer the OPs question, but I think it is natural to be
  7. Clean and Sober! California Nurse Wants to Reinstate.

    Congratulations on your sobriety. I don't know anything about California, but the best advice I can give you is to spend the next year saving money for an attorney. It chaps my ass to have to say...
  8. Please Help...should I self report?

    Yep... Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, decided by a jury of one's peers... unless one is a registered nurse with a brain disease. I think even...
  9. Please Help...should I self report?

    Jack, I love you because I can feel how much you care, but where on earth are downtrodden, addicted nurses supposed to come up with thousands of dollars? From what I understand, you work for an...
  10. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    Let's just be honest and put it out there: For most of us, no matter what we do, no matter how sober we are, no matter what hoops we jump through to prove our dedication to nursing and sobriety, our...
  11. Thinking of relocating to another state.

    If your aren't still suspended, apply to another state ahead of time and contact them about their alternative program A.S.A.P. Also speak with your case manager about your plans so it doesn't appear...
  12. Please Help...should I self report?

    Call an attorney while you can still afford one! Otherwise, you will find yourself jobless and broke and unable to do anything other than ask "How high?" when your BON yells, "Jump!" I didn't get an...
  13. Vacation w/o drug testing sites

    If you can afford to vacation abroad, you can probably afford the hair test. Have fun and be healthy!
  14. Suspended without pay

    She71, I didn't get that she was looking for a certain type of reply... Just that she was afraid and wondering what was around the corner. Most nurses start using for a reason. My guess is that...
  15. Finding employment with IPN contract

    Yep, since the minute I realized that nurses get sick, too, I was told dialysis is the way to go. Please note that I was once called to a dialysis unit to administer Dilaudid, but that is super rare....
  16. IPN evaluation

    big, fat, obvious conflict of interest. it is in the evaluator's best interest to keep you in the program. you pay his/her bills. i would get an attorney if there was any way i could possibly...

    maryner, do you really understand the difference between confidential and non-confidential monitoring? I'm beginning to
  18. HPRP get legal advice first

    maryner, don't assume you cannot get back in. It isn't true. I dropped out several years ago as a non-confidential participant and they let me back in. I know that I seem angry and bitter, and I am,...
  19. Conflicts of interest

    Thanks for the positivity, Diva. I have a suspended license in one state, but I reside in another. No one seems to know what to do with me! I was born in Kentucky, for goodness sake. I am a U.S....
  20. Conflicts of interest

    I made a year's worth of bad choices, followed by 4 years of much better choices, which has left me working at a minimum wage job and still with the stigma of a suspended license. I hate my life and...
  21. Advice ?

    This is one of those unfortunate times that I would consult with an attorney. I loathe them (lawyers, that is) because they will take your hard earned money, regardless of whether or not your case is...
  22. to tell or not to tell

    To whom are you required to release your protected health information in order to obtain your license? Maybe getting an attorney isn't a bad idea if your case is simple. Once it gets big, it becomes...
  23. to tell or not to tell

    If the *ONLY* person who knows of your treatment is your physician, (you've never gotten in trouble with anyone else, no run-ins with the law, etc.) and you never sign a release of information, I...
  24. HPRP get legal advice first

    I was reported to the board in May and was not suspended until February of the next year. If someone isn't depressed when she enters HPRP, she will be soon. Why does depression prevent you from...
