  1. Going to hearing tomorrow

    all_over_again posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    My hearing to have my license reinstated comes on Wednesday. I have been crying sporadically for 18 hours. How do I prove that I am psychologically healthy when I will more than likely start bawling...

  2. Nursing Student with a Drug Addiction

    all_over_again replied to VanessaLee13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd really enjoy peeing in front of someone with a fake member, since I'm a woman and all. LOL. You know, just to see if they're paying

  3. NCBON: Is this an Invasion of privacy ?

    all_over_again replied to Got2B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Much more civilized! I hate just having to hand someone a cup of my warm urine. I'd go work in a sweat shop before I'd show any stranger my midsection while they watch me

  4. New RN.... Did I pick the wrong career?

    all_over_again replied to RN1221's topic in Nursing Career

    You probably didn't pick the wrong career. You just ended up in the wrong place. In my experience, new RNs sometimes end up on units that no one else wants to work on. The facility just needs a...

  5. New and scared

    all_over_again replied to Sharonrninva's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know it seems contrary to everything we Americans believe, but don't worry about the "stuff"! I am an atheist, but when it comes to having things, I think like a Buddhist. Material things come and...

  6. Going to hearing tomorrow

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    LOL. My honesty did not help me a bit in the beginning. "Whatever you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..." The only thing that keeps me from beating myself up on a daily basis...

  7. New and scared

    all_over_again replied to Sharonrninva's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are many excellent public defenders out there. When I was interviewed many years ago, I really didn't have any idea of the gravity of the matter and spilled my guts! (amazing what lots of...

  8. Restricted rn license nc--can i be re-licensed in another state

    all_over_again replied to jparkin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am licensed in Michigan but trying to get license in Kentucky and/or Indiana. Only time will tell. I have all the time in the world. LOL. Fingers crossed for ya, All Over

  9. Restricted rn license nc--can i be re-licensed in another state

    all_over_again replied to jparkin's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I spoke to my case manager about being licensed in another state, she seemed more than enthusiastic about calling the board in that state to facilitate the transfer. Having legal representation...

  10. Going to hearing tomorrow

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Michigan. I had a pre-hearing conference with the judge and she told me what she wanted. I am still paranoid that they are out to get me. LOL. Not really. Just lost my confidence since I made...

  11. attorney or not?

    all_over_again replied to Will I Am's topic in Nurses Recovery

    By the time you're signing a contract, I cannot imagine what you would need an attorney for. Unless there is some part of the contract that you think is

  12. Discrimination?!

    all_over_again replied to ohrecovern's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My gut feeling is that you are either going to have to play their way or get a lawyer who can advocate on your behalf. Many people who make the decisions regarding your licensure are not healthcare...

  13. Nurses self reporting?

    all_over_again replied to Nursered13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wish I had gotten a lawyer when I was still employed and could actually afford it. It would have made things go so much more smoothly. I had to do things on my own because losing my job and...

  14. Help.Cannot get a JOB!

    all_over_again replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they check your credit and background unless they have first made you an offer and you sign a release, so I doubt that's it. The market is saturated and the economy is tight.

  15. BON Appearance

    all_over_again replied to waldo_1984's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! That's awesome. Let us know how things go with ISNAP. I might have to deal with them in the

  16. Were my patient's rights violated?

    all_over_again replied to Nurse-JP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know the "duty to report" varies from state to state, but once you have entered into a doctor-patient relationship, you should receive the same confidentiality that any other patient would. I think...

  17. working while in diversion program

    all_over_again replied to kad1228rn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You really are in a pickle then! I can only imagine how hard this must be for him. Personally, I wouldn't intervene unless I suspected he was diverting. Being a tattle tale is NOT my thing, but...

  18. working while in diversion program

    all_over_again replied to kad1228rn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Monitoring agreements can be periodically amended. I would ask the nurse himself. Obviously, the two of you are quite close since you know that details of his confidential

  19. Do they have to know? I need help!!!

    all_over_again replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If self-supervised tapering were effective, everyone would do it. Your doctor cannot report you to the BON and you should therefore make him or her your ally in kicking your addiction. I wouldn't...

  20. My Story...Long...

    all_over_again replied to Cherybaby's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I HATE 12 step programs, but that's just me. I'm an atheist. I don't buy into the "I have no control over my disease" stance. Ultimately, it is all about me (you) and my (your) issues. It is up to...

  21. 43 days clean

    all_over_again replied to rnaddict's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Personally, I think it is important to keep busy and try to be in the company of other sober humans. Addiction for me was really lonely business. Its all about balance. Some alone time to look at...

  22. NCBON: Is this an Invasion of privacy ?

    all_over_again replied to Got2B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would imagine the people having to observe in this manner are probably somewhat horrified themselves. While they're at it, how about a TSA style patdown and x-ray? The whole thing is just so...

  23. NCBON: Is this an Invasion of privacy ?

    all_over_again replied to Got2B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OMG! Just reading that made me sick to my stomach. Maybe NCs ACLU could help out if they were made aware of this. It's

  24. Should I hire an Atty for Reinstatement w/ Voluntary Surrender For Diversion 6yrs ago

    all_over_again replied to lifesaver_x2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you can afford an attorney, that's obviously the best way to go. However, I recently had a hearing scheduled and did not have an attorney (I simply did not have $3500). The judge's office called...

  25. Violation of privacy

    all_over_again replied to sissykim's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh blech! If we were so good at it, we'd have far fewer addicted nurses to begin with. Support struggling nurses instead of parading your "We eat our Young"
