  1. tbon investigation letter

    SNB1014 replied to Memalicious's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am a klutz. The 10% of he time I wear something white, there is a 50% chance I will spill something obvious. I feel you. However, just as if a cop pulled you over- a refusal to blow= automatic DUI...

  5. Discouraged TPAPN Nurse

    SNB1014 replied to TexasNurse2014's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When you say that TPAPN tried to burn your offer, what do you mean, exactly? I have a job now in pre-op and PACU. PACU is a tempting place for me, but I know myself- as long as I "get away" with...

  6. Help! What's next?

    SNB1014 replied to Justme0400's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well my only question is simply this: why on EARTH did you refuse? If you refuse a breathlyizer, it's an auto guilty- for example. Granted, hopefully they report to your tpapn, but you KNOW that...

  7. Positive ETG

    SNB1014 replied to Wrighttashan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How the heck is that legal??? In Texas, tpapn, the contract states we have the right to be informed. Unless they claim some BS proprietary info, I would submit an open records request. Or contact a...

  10. If you could recommend changes, what would you suggest?

    SNB1014 replied to SororAKS's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well for starters, I would presume the research geniuses could come up with a reasonable cut off regarding incidental exposure. I find it very sad (and laughable actually, except for the sobering...

    Woot woot!!!! Congrats! Can you tell us when you brought up the restriction? For those that were receptive, what did you say? For the positions that could not accommodate a 6mo narc restriction,...

  13. working while in monitoring program

    SNB1014 replied to InHisArms's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was thinking about this option, research nursing, tele-health, working for an insurance company, etc. these seem like very recovery/stipulation friendly, but I had heard from my lawyer that they...

  14. Feeling like giving up right now

    SNB1014 replied to nurse_kee77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I never thought about it, because I don't use e-cigs, but I suppose there must be some -OH compound that helps to ignite it. I was talking to my lawyer about accidental exposures and she had said...

  15. Desperate for answers regarding IPN

    SNB1014 replied to Rosa09's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Rosa- In your original post, you mentioned 2 Tylenol 3s...were you leaving out other instances of diversion/using that your employer didn't "catch" you for? The reason I ask is because one admitted...

  17. Relapsed, hubby furious

    SNB1014 replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First off, I'm sorry you relapsed. Addiction is insidious, cunning and as you can see, progressive in it's nature and consequences. Have you been to a NA meeting since this all went down? I'd get...

  18. Not abusing, medicating

    SNB1014 replied to Colpn71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP, in my state, their matrix says that basically not responding and/or failing to continue to respond is the worst sin of all. That may explain the suspension. That being said, in my state any...

  19. "Floating" IV

    SNB1014 replied to Marti17's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are paranoid because they are new and often are still functioning in the " check off vs instructor " mentality. Which is fine when you don't know the basics of an iv but once you do you...

    SNB1014 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing
