  1. Mental Health NP clinicals

    solarex replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good advice. Especially if you wanted to teach or do research in areas of mental health where you basically don't do patient care, but the license being intact can

  2. Reporting to BON

    solarex replied to Meq815's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here is where things get sticky. If a person has not been reported to the Board and there are no known workplace issues, and the person is seeking a mental health professional on the side for...

  3. Reporting to BON

    solarex replied to Meq815's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, if someone has had No issues at work in which your workplace, boss, human resources has not reported this person to the Board, but the person has a substance abuse issue in which their work or...

  4. Surrendering a single state license- ramifications to keeping other licenses?

    solarex replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ??? You literally just suggested in a previous post that Surrendering your license will NOT get you in the OIG Database. You literally just wrote that 2 posts ago and it is dangerously False. You more...

  5. Surrendering a single state license- ramifications to keeping other licenses?

    solarex replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    LOL, with all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about. I have 3 friends in recovery of which 2 were RN's and 1 an advanced practice nurse. They ALL went into the OIG database. All 3...

  6. Affinity drug testing

    solarex replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Totally depends on your state. Somebody wrote about Kentucky and "traveling affecting drug test obligations," is something you have to tell them about before hand. The key words here...

  7. Surrendering a single state license- ramifications to keeping other licenses?

    solarex replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Very true and great point. A suspended license will get you in the national databank, but overwhelmingly NOT likely to get you into the State Medicaid/Medicare Exclusion Database or the Federal...

  8. Affinity drug testing

    solarex replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I haven't taken vacation time. Two downsides to that. First is the inconvenience of more testing upon return. If I would have been selected to test 2 times in that 2 week period of vacation, it is...

  9. GA BON and 25+ year old criminal history

    solarex replied to RightMeowRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    No offense HopefulERnurse28, but that is not entirely true. Each state is different IF you have had a record expunged. Some states have literally state laws in place that literally state a person...

  10. Tn DUI

    solarex replied to Rae3i's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Here's what I recommend. Obviously, make an attempt with the Tenn. Board to get an answer to your question. You will not get one in my opinion. Many of them are like robots on the Board. Anything...

  11. Can I Get My License and Find a Job with a Very Old, Pardoned and Sealed Criminal Record in Colorado?

    solarex replied to HopefulNurse75's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Colorado law automatically DESTROYS all Sealed Misdemeanors at the 4 year mark and DESTROYS all Felonies at the 10 year mark except for murder, 1st degree assault, and rape. You will answer the...

  12. Surrendering a single state license- ramifications to keeping other licenses?

    solarex replied to PDRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For all nurses and advanced practice nurses reading this......NEVER EVER surrender your license. I know, if you are licensed in multiple states, it can be tricky because multiple states may want you...

  13. KNAP help

    solarex replied to MNOP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. How can you make a diverting mistake 4 years ago if you were not licensed as an LPN then? You stated you have done your evaluation, but KNAP is making you have an evaluation? I don't understand?...

  14. Obtaining APRN License While RN License IPN

    solarex replied to Alphabug82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    During the remaining of your IPN contract. You will get a DEA license without problems after completion of your contract as it will suggest and show you completed recovery and have been successfully...

  15. Success stories of using attorney vs IPN

    solarex replied to LittleRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One more things about stipulations from the Board. They are pretty clear. If you call in daily and randomly drug test and don't do drugs or alcohol, you are going to be fine. They will tell you how...

  16. Success stories of using attorney vs IPN

    solarex replied to LittleRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm going to go a different direction and give you an example of why I would tell you, NO, do not get an attorney. For starters, you wrote dealing with issues? That could literally mean 1000 things...

  17. Mental Health NP clinicals

    solarex replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One more thing. You are in an alternative to discipline program. You didn't say when you finish the Mental Health NP Program, but lets say your alternative to discipline program finishes BEFORE you...

  18. Mental Health NP clinicals

    solarex replied to Scarlet70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One thing you need to be aware of. You are in an alternative to discipline program with a certain state. OK, the Board isn't aware you are doing clinicals. In order to be a MH NP, you need a MHNP...

  19. HPRP Michigan

    solarex replied to Bobby Jones's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Keep this in mind forever. If you drink alcohol, literally, one big swig of beer, not even half of the can, it will show in your urine for 5 days based on the tests they do (not 12 hours, not 1 day,...

  20. PNAP no legal charges

    solarex replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WHO? WHO is pressuring you to do PNAP? That obviously kind of matters. Is the State Board of Nursing or someone on the Board pressuring you? Then obviously, you better do PNAP because something is...

  21. Affinity drug testing

    solarex replied to Kpp1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's not entirely true, but partially true. It depends on the state. In my state, you do not have to have any permission to travel anywhere in the United States. You simply check in that day...

  22. CFR 42 part 2

    solarex replied to Laura RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Laura, I don't mean to be mean or rude, but I will be honest here. Have you ever thought about fixing the substance abuse issue? It sounds like you are getting a raw deal from the info given and I...

  23. Why not paralyze??

    solarex replied to Ketofol's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm a USAGPAN Grad and will come at your question based on my training. Question 1. For cases where paralytic is not needed, but you have an ETT in (d/t airway control, NPO status, etc...) why...

  24. Tips on securing a nasal ETT! and other advise :)

    solarex replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    For starters, I'm a trauma/military CRNA. I would first be cautious (no offense at all) with your lingo. You didn't "goose" anything. You placed the endotracheal tube in the esophagus. Next, you...

  25. Should I Worry About Future of CRNAs?

    solarex replied to guest_57352's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You realize in the last year, there have been several more staffing agencies come on board and the overall economy of the US has declined. I would take the job posting of one website and run with a...
