  1. Narcotic restrictions- how do they work??

    I have been offered a shadow opportunity in two days which sounds promising. The gentleman that interviewed me seemed unaware of how the bon consent agreements work. I bought some scrubs and really hope I don't have to try to reattach the tags.... I...
  2. COC Form

    I just had a test that wasn't observed that they documented as observed. Has that every happened to anyone?
  3. Random drug screens for Ohio monitoring program through BON

    I am in Ohio as well. I cannot find a job. I have been paying for drug screens for seven months.. for nothing. They want us to fail. To give up. To disappear and be forgotten. We are the trouble makers. With Good Sam closing in Dayton. The market i...
  4. Still no job

    I have a narcotic restriction. No one even calls me back. Six years as hospice nurse means nothing when your acts are on display for anyone to google... I did this to myself. My old boss was fighting so hard for me to get a job at her hospice in the...
  5. APRN Post Monitoring?

    I am not sure.. I was three courses away from my NP with a 3.9 when my world fell apart. I have no idea if any of it will count or if Ill be able to pursue it. I will have the black mark forever as well. My states says it has an alternative to disci...
  6. Have I proceeded correctly?

    I have been following your post and am just sick to my stomach. Something similar happened to me a few months back. I had pneumonia and was on meds (no narcotics) and tested positive. It was two weeks of pure ever loving hell. They accused me of taki...
  7. First source solutions

    Same here with first source, up to six or seven weeks.
  8. Just sayin!

    So happy for you! A light at the end of the tunnel!! My two year contract means forever as I can't find a job. One interview and the nurse was in recovery herself but couldn't hire me. It was nice to meet another rn going through this though. Dayton ...
  9. Option 4

    Is this for first lab? If so then this program is just beyond stupid. I am often tested for option one.. but am allowed to consume alcohol per my contract....
  10. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    it said positive and still does. I suppose its because its positive for something so it remains but doesn't count against me.
  11. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    I would like to add that the response I got was "no further information is needed" No explanation, no lab error/paperwork error, no words of wisdom/info for next time.. I asked twice after this hellish nightmare what could be done differently. "nothi...
  12. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    I was very sick a couple months ago (no narcotic scripts, just cold meds) and took a test and it took nearly two weeks to post positive. I think they test the other half of the split specimen in these situations. My case manager was fairly quick to r...
  13. What is working PRN like?

    Before everything hit the fan for me I was prn. Facilities usually have so many required hours that you have to do per month/quarter to maintain employment. I have a full time job I LOVE and desperately am looking for something prn to work my agreem...
  14. Trying to find work

    I have begun testing, finished CEUs, took a refresher course, and have an active restricted license. Now the search begins. I have put seven applications out and not heard a word. A MAJOR hospital is closing right by me and the network will absorb 2...
  15. Falsely accused of diversion

    Get the hair test! If it is clean they have nothing on you other than the word of the patient. I am so sorry, this stress is just.. the absolute worst thing ever.
  16. this should be interesting..

    Second random testing selection in my contract thus far.. on a saturday. Option seven. I finally found a place to go. Googled the test number while I was waiting and it appears to be for alcohol. I don't know if that one includes other substances in ...
  17. this should be interesting..

    Final update. After four days of hellish waiting. I got an email. "No further review is needed. The MRO has been cancelled" I am very grateful this got sorted out but the suffering and insane amount of stress I just lived through was awful. Someone ...
  18. this should be interesting..

    Sooo... they can't get to me till Tuesday now.. My 'statement' is supposed to be given on wednesday. So I will sit here anxious, crying, sick to my stomach, snapping at the kids and husband MISERABLE for an additional four days. I faxed my case mana...
  19. this should be interesting..

    God I hope thats it.. I have made mistakes in the past and waited three years for the bon to catch up to me. I didn't work as a nurse that whole time. The doctor from the lab did not call me today, hopefully he will early tomorrow. Just so I can kno...
  20. this should be interesting..

    My case manager emailed my lawyer and I saying the substance was not a medication that is prescribed to me. So either she didn't realize I can drink (doubtful), didn't get my paperwork from being sick, or I somehow tested positive for an illicit subs...
  21. this should be interesting..

    I did call the lawyer. I emailed my case manager stating I saw the positive and had sent the lab my doctor appt paperwork. Why didn't they reach out to her first to ask for this paperwork or at least see why i had a reason for having cold meds in my...
  22. this should be interesting..

    Well it was positive, I was tested on a Saturday and that one is now showing positive. I had drank the night before but according to my agreement I am not restricted from alcohol. So it is either a positive for that or the cold medication I had a rx ...
  23. this should be interesting..

    I am in Ohio
  24. this should be interesting..

    I am still waiting! I was selected for option 8 82$ on Wednesday four days after the test after the weekend one. Frustrating. The contract actually has a line about how i do NOT have to abstain. I was shocked when I saw it.
  25. "Recovery" and public shaming

    Remember they are 'protecting the public'... No its *******. Public humiliation, gossip, judgement before even being met is what this achieves. I had a problem.. a huge one. I scoured that BON site and saw the names and sentences of the nurses who ...
