    exnursie replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    instead of setting boundaries and limits to what you will accept for answers, i suggest being open to what people are trying to say to you and leaving your attitude at the door. i have read too many...

  2. Social Worker Wants Me In an Impaired Nurse Program--I am NOT Impaired

    exnursie replied to Mezcalero's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Regardless of what you choose to think as far as the disease concept and addiction, anyone who wants to stop using has to really want to stop using in order to succeed. This fact is one of the only...

  3. new to forum seeking advice

    exnursie replied to lapatsox's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would contact the state BON and specifically ask what is needed to show sobriety. I suspect there is no concrete answer and would gather whatever you can to support your recovery, including meeting...

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

    exnursie replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is obvious that you don't see addiction as a disease and instead see it as a personal weakness, which is your right and I respect your right to have this opinion, but disagree with it I also really...

  5. Is it possible to seal criminal charges from your nursing license?

    exnursie replied to lm8539's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    No, it is not possible, and to seek legal advice would be a waste of money and time. FYI, any criminal record is also something that the BON wants to know of, regardless of expungement, or final...

  9. IPN affecting other professional licenses.

    exnursie replied to GymNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    exnursie replied to KayteRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Kayte, Keep the faith... as others said, there is a recession and this includes nursing jobs, and many new grads are also not working. I suggest looking at non hospital jobs, and try nursing homes,...

  17. Will going to Tx for Alcohol and drugs 27 years ago keep me from being a nurse?

    exnursie replied to jlynn2303's topic in Nurses Recovery

    With no ill will directed at Jack, I respectfully disagree with his advice here simply because he works with an attorney whose ONLY online advice is to hire a lawyer whenever a nurse is involved with...

  22. Pre- employment drug testing

    exnursie replied to VM85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is just my opinion, and not legal in nature... but from what I know and have read in the many yrs I have been involved in helping nurses in recovery, you should not be involved with the advice...
