Nurse Extern Psych
Hi, Lady I am in the same position as you just starting this week. I have been reading some of these post, I see you have not got any replies so I just wanted to say congrats toward starting your goal. There does not seem to be much activity in this area on here. Hopefully someone with a little more experience will answer your questions and help you out. I see some other specialities get a lot more feedback I am just hoping this is not what it is like when we start working on the floor. Keep me informed on how it is going for you.

Thanks for replying, I don't think I would steal any drugs from the hospital the drugs I done are not available at a hospital I never stolen anything before. I just don't want to relapse maybe from just seeing other drugs around I guess I have an addictive personality. I never been to a meeting or any kind and didn't know if I should go to prevent me from relapsing. I will check on. Groups available in my area, but with school,the new job and a family don't know where I would find some free time. I know I should have any excuses. Is it normal to still crave drugs after being sober 5 years and you know its wrong?

Hello, I have been lurking around the forum for 3 years daily but never joined until today. I finish nursing school in December this year and recently got a job at a hospital. I was addicted to drugs and drinking for 7 years and have been sober 5 years. When I got pregnant I was able to quit and never drank or done any more drugs. I believe you are always an addict, I never been to meetings, but sometimes I do something or smell or taste something and it reminds me of the drugs I dont know if this will happen while I am working. I have been so strong I have days for no reason I want to go back. I just don't want to stumble should I go to some type or meeting? I really don't know what I need to ask but maybe someone will understand. Thanks
