  1. "Recovery" and public shaming

    OhioRN1234 replied to noctanol's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  2. this should be interesting..

    OhioRN1234 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well.... you know. I wouldn't be surprised at all

  3. this should be interesting..

    OhioRN1234 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my contract it says clearly that I am not required to abstain. My lawyer said she has seen it before but that it is rare. It is not an administrative mistake. I asked her how I got so lucky and...

  4. Are you better off?

    OhioRN1234 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Absolutely. With our names and emails sent out like that.. The tiniest slip up and we are slapped with years more of this ******** but they can literally get away with this and a 'whoopss sorry...

  5. Are you better off?

    OhioRN1234 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Am I better off... They took three years to get to me. So three solid years of anxiety and fear every day and night in waiting. I submitted everything to reactivate over a month ago and..nothing....

    OhioRN1234 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    This all started for me three years ago... fired, horrified, sick, and just full of shame. I finally heard from the bon in September and signed in October. Two years, must work as a nurse, daily check...

  7. waiting waiting waiting

    OhioRN1234 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ohio. They are known for being very strict. I wonder if it is the three years of inactive status waiting I did, not talking to the investigator, or my "slight" offense of admitting marijuana use w no...

  8. Why is the board of nursing taking so long???

    OhioRN1234 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They contacted my lawyer first. When everything happened I had a lawyer asap and never met with an investigator which I believe helped me. I most certainly would have shot myself in the

  9. Why is the board of nursing taking so long???

    OhioRN1234 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They took THREE to get to me. I was inactive and not working as a nurse obviously. I was luckier than most and my stipulations are lighter. I don't know if it is because they made me wait so long, my...

  13. Messed up bad.....

    OhioRN1234 replied to OHRN2011's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No! I mean diversion or nurse programs that protect you anonymity and are separate from the board that monitor you during your 'agreement' Many states have these separate programs. In Ohio the board...

  14. Messed up bad.....

    OhioRN1234 replied to OHRN2011's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As far as I know Ohio has no recovery program so to speak. They say they have an alternative program on their website but from the sounds of it no one gets in (my lawyer has not had anyone in years)....

  15. Messed up bad.....

    OhioRN1234 replied to OHRN2011's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was also in Ohio and the best thing you can do is get a lawyer. Do NOT talk to an investigator, you will make it worse. Lawyers handle all the communication. I waited three years to hear from the...

  16. Relationships after addiction

    OhioRN1234 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OhioRN1234 replied to stickybun's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is all so confusing. I put my license on inactive THREE years ago.. they are just now getting to me. I have been terrified to go to the doctor those three years for fear of something making me...

    OhioRN1234 replied to stickybun's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You guys bring up some questions I have about meds. I am about to start my two year contract, meet with my monitor tomorrow (YIKES), and getting doctors to sign everything. I am not going to see my...
