  1. Violation of privacy

    all_over_again replied to sissykim's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think aspects of these recovery programs are instituted specifically because they are humiliating. The truth is that our society has zero sympathy or empathy for recovering addicts. Boards of...

  2. Smackdown by the BON

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is Michigan I am working with. I guess my next call will be to HPRP to see if they will let me in before my hearing. My license has lapsed so I won't be high priority if money is tight there....

  3. What is your opinion/knowledge base on recovery programs?

    all_over_again replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was in Michigan's HPRP and it was garbage. Michigan changed its alternative program providers (almost certainly due to monetary considerations) during my contract and lost all my paperwork. Then...

  4. License reinstated but no one will hire me

    all_over_again replied to 47lpn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No higher power issues here. The economy will improve and the demand for nurses will increase. Yes, even for those of us with blemished records. Find other work in the interim. Keep up to date on...

  5. Roll call...status call...

    all_over_again replied to MizChelleRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My name is Jaye. I live in Indiana. My sobriety date is April 17, 2007. I have done farm and farmers market work since 2008. I just applied to have my license reinstated two weeks ago even though...

  6. Heightening anxiety with ISNAP

    all_over_again replied to grace86's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Atenolol has done wonders for my anxiety. I was on low dose clonazepam for over 15 years. It was a difficult transition but not impossible. As far as job availability, I believe that once the...

  8. Any point in fighting NA requirement?

    all_over_again posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I plan to apply to have my license reinstated after suspension for dependency and diversion. I have met all the requirements (inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, psychiatric treatment, etc.)...

  9. Any point in fighting NA requirement?

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks to you all, because I have made up my mind based on your replies and the requirements listed in AA/NA steps: I am not and was not powerless. That specific belief kept me ill. There is no...

  10. Any point in fighting NA requirement?

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe that addiction is a disease. Like many other diseases, genetics loads the gun and environment pulls the trigger. Diabetes is a disease, yet many people pull the trigger with a lifetime of...

  11. any nurses/nursing students on methadone?

    all_over_again replied to milksteak's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is absolutely no reason for your fellow students to know as long as school staff is aware. Ideally, by the time you graduate, you should have had a great deal of clean time (I'm assuming that...

  12. What have you done without a Dr. order?

    all_over_again replied to PureLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have given IV dextrose to a diabetic in an emergency. Immediately after, I called the doctor to get an order. The patient lived. I would have preferred to lose my job than allow someone to die...

  13. Nurses,say you had the chance to choose another career,which one would you choose ?

    all_over_again replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    I should have been a social worker. My most depressing nursing moments usually had to do with my client's lack of resources for ongoing

  14. Diverted drugs, got caught, fired and arrested...

    all_over_again replied to erem's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is nice to know some people who go thru addiction are quickly able to get their lives back. Many of us are not so

  15. Any point in fighting NA requirement?

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    After 3 and a half years of sobriety, I am so ready to put that chapter behind me and just live my life. I wanna be the master of my fate and the captain of my

  16. Any point in fighting NA requirement?

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My deepest fear is that my sponsor will throw me under the bus. I can go along with the non-religious interpretations but I cannot deal with a sponsor who expects me to "work the program".

  17. Before you became a nurse..

    all_over_again replied to MimeBox's topic in General Nursing

    It'll be okay. I once had an extremely obese patient with gyn problems come in and we all just took a deep breath before going in the room to care for her. After a minute or two, you get habituated...

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you, Michael. It is a very thoughtfully written

  19. Need Advice

    all_over_again replied to What-a-Web's topic in Nurses Recovery

    A hospital is a drug buffet and you do not sound like someone who is ready to deal with it. Stay far, far away. It isn't a matter of being strong. We are all strong. Otherwise, we'd be probably...

    Yes, Jack. Thank you. I have sent out a couple of emails and am eagerly awaiting a

  21. Finally...A job!

    all_over_again replied to june2009's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! Your success is a reminder that persistence and a positive attitude will pay off, even in a lousy economy.

  22. Any point in fighting NA requirement?

    all_over_again replied to all_over_again's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you all for your thoughtful replies. It isn't really a "beat the board" thing in that I don't feel hostile toward the board itself, just the requirement to participate in NA. There are not...

  23. Questions about DMC

    all_over_again replied to doughboiwife's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was a staff nurse at Harper Hospital 4 years ago. My own safety was not an issue but patient safety was a constant struggle. It was a challenge just to get a pole to hang IV bags on, let along...

  24. HELP My Alcohol Past May Ruin Career - ISNAP Related

    all_over_again replied to IndianaNurse309's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with you on the point that the monitoring programs are unnecessarily intrusive. If no nurses should ever be allowed to consume alcohol, someone should probably mention that upfront. I do...

  25. Any RN Positions in Mich?

    all_over_again replied to Tanlie226's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One of my co-workers went to DaVita dialysis while she was in recovery. She was hired very quickly after HPRP allowed her to return to
