  1. TX Warning with Stips

    LibertyTX posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Does anyone know what happens after a 12 month Warning with Stips order is complete? Does it disappear from my license info on the TXBON website? Are employers still able to look it

  2. Nurse Practitioner - Texas

    LibertyTX posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone ever had problems arise during their NP program because of past disciplinary action? Any problems with credentialing or getting a job after

  3. Straight Caths

    LibertyTX posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am new to the Emergency Department. The last three women (65+yrs old) I had to straight cath, I could not get it. I need advice. I really hate to put these patients through multiple attempts. My...

  4. good bye ER... maybe

    LibertyTX replied to Ryan RN's topic in Emergency

    I went from two years of PACU to Endoscopy for a total of 3 months. Hated endo! The only reason I took the position is because I moved to a new city and wanted to stay with my company...that was the...

  5. nursing jobs that are narcotic free...dialysis?

    LibertyTX replied to ICURN80's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The endo center where I worked, the pre-op and circulating nurses never gave narcs. Anesthesia did all the sedation. Fentanyl was used very rarely in post-op for the occasional liver biopsy patient....

  6. Obtaining DEA licensing

    LibertyTX replied to PavementRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had a warning on my license for a year from the Texas BON, and I'm currently in an ACNP program. I was worried about the same thing, so I called the DEA. An investigator told me that previous...

  7. nursing jobs that are narcotic free...dialysis?

    LibertyTX replied to ICURN80's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I shadowed with DaVita once and they said they never give narcs. An endoscopy center might work for you. They might keeps narcs in the pharmacy just incase, but would rarely administer them. Also,...

  8. Introduction post!!!

    LibertyTX replied to thisismyname's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've read that, too, about breathing the fumes. When I had to use hand sanitizer the couple of times when in monitoring, I held my hands far from my face until they were dry. I really worried in the...

  9. Introduction post!!!

    LibertyTX replied to thisismyname's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have heard that you would have to bathe in or drink hand sanitizer in order to come up positive for EtG. I had to use it once or twice in desperate situations while I was being monitored, and it...

  10. lost license, now what

    LibertyTX replied to rnnolonger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also intraoperative neuro monitoring, which I always thought would be interesting. They require at least a BS, and BSN is one of the preferred

  11. Nursing Student Mistake

    LibertyTX replied to Wb003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get all the info you can from your old school regarding if they reported you to the BON, and if the reason for your suspension from the program will be available to other universities. Since you...

  12. lost license, now what

    LibertyTX replied to rnnolonger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Medical device sales or pharm sales. Many have BSN listed as preferred educational

  13. Nursing Student Mistake

    LibertyTX replied to Wb003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are in good standing with the university you were suspended from, do you even have to tell another school about the positive drug screen? Of course you'd have to give a reason if you were...

  14. Nursing Student Mistake

    LibertyTX replied to Wb003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, if you answer YES to the addiction/mental illness question on the licensure application, you will most likely end up in a 3-5 year (depending on the state) super-strict, expensive,...

  15. Nursing Student Mistake

    LibertyTX replied to Wb003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First of all, if you don't have a substance abuse problem, do not tell the BON that you do. You were given an evaluation that found that you do not have an addiction problem, correct? Leave it at...

  16. Nursing Student Mistake

    LibertyTX replied to Wb003's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did your school report you to the BON? If they did, you will most likely have to do some sort of monitoring program for a time period as a RN. If they didn't report you to the BON, I'd think you...

  17. Took a decongestant on the "Class B- Dr Approval Only" list

    LibertyTX replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do not tempt fate with your monitoring program! Yes, the rules suck and many of them are plain silly, but just imagine how much worse it will get if you test positive (or false

  18. Got a job in Home Health

    LibertyTX replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for your honesty, and I know how you feel! I am a critical care nurse by nature, but had to give it up for my year long Board Order. I tried pediatric home health for a couple of months and...

  19. Texas Warning with Stipulations

    LibertyTX posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am just days away from being finished with my 12 month Warning w/Stips. The TXBON seems to be dragging this out as long as they can. My 12 months should have ended on December 9th, but I am not...

  20. TX Warning with Stips

    LibertyTX replied to LibertyTX's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well, it figures that the BON would drag this out as long as possible.... my 12 months ended December 9th, and I still haven't been picked for my final drug test. I'm fully expecting to be picked on...

  21. Getting BSN while "Encumbered"

    LibertyTX replied to harleyrider911's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If the BSN program requires clinicals, then you probably won't be able to get in with an encumbered license. The school might be okay with it, but unfortunately the clinical sites will not. If your...

  23. Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    LibertyTX replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a PACU RN and met my boyfriend of 2 years at work. He's a CRNA.

  24. Nurse Practitioner - Texas

    LibertyTX replied to LibertyTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, I didn't get a lawyer. I don't think it would have made a difference for me. If you are in Texas, they will offer you EEP. Do it and DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. I made that regrettable choice and...

  25. Advice for prospective nurse with criminal background?

    LibertyTX replied to taylork93's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You need to contact your BON and ask what info you need to submit to them and get that started ASAP. Last thing you want to do is finish nursing school and THEN find out that you can't take NCLEX (it...
