    Giving the license up

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    How do you know when you are finished with First Lab?

    wish_me_luck replied to backtowork's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think that was me that said that. And no, it is not First Lab that we go through. We go through Affinity Solutions and get tested through LabCorps. I still have another 4 years and 7 months of...

    wish_me_luck replied to backtowork's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you called your case manager? They should know when you are done. Do you have a contract that you signed at the beginning of the program? I know in HPMP, they give a contract with an expected...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's finally here. I was given the "ok" to look for work today. I have not received any information yet in the mail--my case manager just sent it today. I put in for a couple of my dream positions. I...

    Crusading for Better Mental Health Care: Mental Health Education in Schools

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You do have that right, you are correct. But, when I had low self esteem, felt awful, drank, etc., I needed help. I tried everything to make myself better, including the positive/good in yourself...

    Okay. Virginia hasn't had any optional questionnaires, that I know of. I am not talking about assessing people anyway. I am not talking creepy history professors or anything. Just health care...

    Inf, again maybe TX is doing a better job than where I live. But, I am telling you, we (where I live) did not get any sort of education on what each disorder is. We did not get any coping skills or...

    Nurse with Cyclothymia?

    wish_me_luck replied to _jackburton's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I think TX is one that you must disclose. They actually ask directly if you have been dx'd or received tx for a mental illness in the past 5 years. If you haven't been formally diagnosed, then don't...

    Inf, I am curious. What exactly are your opinions on the subject? Like are you against MH education in schools? Do you have a suggestion that hasn't been thrown out there

    I think all of you missed my point. There is nothing I want with drugs. What I am suggesting is education. Telling children about it, generally. For example: BPD: Tx is talk therapy/DBT schizophrenia:...

    Inf, I understand what you are saying. We didn't get that when I was in school though. I graduated high school in 2005. I am not saying an approach by psychiatrists or anything to drug kids or...

    Nurse with Cyclothymia?

    wish_me_luck replied to _jackburton's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Jack, I am not in TX, but I am in a very similar situation in VA. I have BPD (with alcohol abuse). I am a new nurse and I am in HPMP (the VA equivalent of TPAPN). I do drug screens, but it's because I...

    OC and Linda, I think there is cheapening the labor market, but I think there will be a line drawn somewhere at some point. Think about it, you cheapen it too much and people will just go work at...

    I didn't read all the pages in the thread, but another thing you have to consider is not only burning bridges, but HR putting you on the "not eligible for rehire" list. I would have stuck with one job...
