  1. Pain management RN and getting a job

    LisaB19 replied to fin0814's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm no expert, but I do think that the general thought is that any sort of opiods taken while you are working, are mind altering. I just wanted to say that I feel for you, you are in a tough...

    LisaB19 replied to Bettertheniuse2b's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sj81, my heart is with you. I too have had many of the same issues as you, especially the insomnia, along with other illnesses that i needed to take meds for. To make a long story short, I opted not...

  5. IPN contract sign or not? part 2

    LisaB19 replied to 12gauge's topic in Nurses Recovery

  6. Can NCLEX decline your application because of Bipolar disorder

    LisaB19 replied to HakunaMatata<3's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Don't tell them, it's none of their business now. They don't ask about other diseases like diabetes. How many of us have seen a hypoglycemic nurse who is unable to function because she didn't eat?...

  7. Returning to nursing after 7 year absense

    LisaB19 replied to zachjessmom's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Zachjessmom, where do you live? I choose not to get my license back as here in CA there is such a nursing glut (50% or new grads can't get jobs) that it wasn't worth getting my license back. No one...

  8. Sooo lost....ready to give up nursing if that's what it takes

    LisaB19 replied to JoJo7737's topic in Nurses Recovery

    LisaB19 replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. Looking for work...

    LisaB19 replied to gradrn1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    LisaB19 replied to gradrn1's topic in Nurses Recovery

  13. Did I commit career suicide?

    LisaB19 replied to catmom1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi Catmom, I've known of your struggles for a long time and appreciate them. While I did not look for work as long as you, it was a very painful process to keep getting denied because of what I had...

  14. Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    LisaB19 replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Imintrouble, Yes you are like us. Obviously you know little about addiction, but who would ever choose that path? Yeah sure, I sat down one day and said "Gee I'd love to be an alcoholic/addict,...

  15. OIG

    LisaB19 replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does anyone know if there seems to be a general length of time before you appear on the list? It's been 7 years since I was reported to the BRN and 2 years since my license was suspended. No longer...

  18. Surgery while on Diversion?

    LisaB19 replied to jnks's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi, I had surgery twice while in Diversion. They had me write a relapse prevention plan and have it approved by my CM prior. I faxed in a copy of my script and that was it. I believe you had to stay...

    LisaB19 replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

  21. Help me please!

    LisaB19 replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So are you saying Lauren that you are not an alcoholic/addict? Having issues twice would make me think that you are. Also thinking that someone that is out to get you is typical of the denial that all...

    LisaB19 replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

  23. New member awaiting evaluation from IPN

    LisaB19 replied to HammeRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi Amanda. I was in IPN before returning to CA. One thing I found is that when you get the list of evaluators, research them as they can vary greatly in cost and approach. The closest may not be the...

  24. Florida IPN and etG/etS screenings

    LisaB19 replied to gingerplum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I attended the IPN conference in Orlando last year. I spoke directly with the Lab Corp guru who stated their cutoff is 500. He also said they also run EtS along with the EtG which is supposed to help...

  25. Turned down due to nursing probation

    LisaB19 replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe that if the employer, such as in the OP, states that they would hire her except for her past SA, that is a case for a ADA case. Take a look here: http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/ada/ch4.htm
