You absolutely should not and do not need to disclose that. You can bet that will affect the way you are looked at. As long as there is no issue, those are your own personal medical records.

I personally love the idea of hair testing. Don't have to worry about false positive!

Read your agreement carefully and make sure your compliant with everything they have asked. Sounds like you are. just remember to out your health before your contract

Would really need more information to answer! What are the circumstamces

That's sound good. Wish all states would adapt that. Unfortunately many nurses in recovery carrying a license with restriction can't find a nursing job. This will make it possible for those who can't find employment to succeed with this program and m...

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing for everyone.

What a great accomplishment! So happy for you

Thank you for the feedback

I am still waiting to find out what is going to happen with my case. Just a reminder to everyone. I was on a 3 year monitoring agreement for for past DUI in 1997 and I admitted to using drugs back in 2005. All these things too place prior to ever eve...

That's what I'm hoping for! I fear I may not get back my license but that seems so excessive. Stressful!!!!!!

I've been on a monitoring program since 2012 when I received my RN license. I was scheduled to compete my program in October of this year and ended up drinking a couple beers one night and got called to test the next day. Can't explain how I could ri...

You can never go wrong with a sincere and honest apology. Whether it be by text, email or even in person. It'll be good for and help with recovery. always make amends!

Definitly not as much as a nurse but you can still make a pretty good living depending in which way you go. Social work doesn't pay near as much but can certainly be as rewarding!

does anyone know if 5 HTP is safe to take with uds. I'm so afraid to take anything but I feel like I could benefit from this. Been feeling little down lately and pretty stressed out.

The BON knows I'm an addict / alcoholic. Last thing I need them to know is I'm having anxiety and am sad. I'll continue to do do my tapping therapy and meditation. Thanks for the feedback everyone

In nevada your case manager will contact you and them your employer. Takes about 1 week. Good luck!!!! Can I ask how much time was added to your program after your first relapse.

I always encourage people to be honest about the past. Unfortunately, many pass judgement and don't like to give out 2nd chances but that's just what we have to deal with. It takes time but there are people/employers who will understand you and accep...

I think it is all in the way your present yourself the day of the interview. I was honest and sincere and basically just asked for a chance to prove myself and I was given it. People are either gonna be accepting to your situation or there not. Ill c...

First of all congrats on all you have accomplished in the last 17 years. That is such an amazing accomplishment !!!!!!! This is a great place to vent and get advice and good support for recovering nurses. However it can not replace what AA or a more ...

That is awesome! Congratulations. I wish you all the best!

I have never even heard of oig before today. This is awful, sorry this happened to you. Just remember to stay strong and out your sobriety and sanity of course first. Please keep is updated.

Only a few with drug/alcohol problems. Each time I go the group seems a little different. Wide rage of problems from divorcees to people grieving. I appreciate the fact the group/facilitator are always so welcoming. They do workshops, team building, ...

If you feel that strongly about it maybe you should disclose. I was kind of in a similar way when I first went into nursing. Hindsight ........i would have never disclosed my past. When I went for my nursing license I disclosed my past with drugs and...

I had inquired about doing a celebrate recovery through my local church and there was no problem. However, they are 3 hours long and would only account for 1 meeting. I lived the celebrate recovery it was just to long for me to commit to every week w...

It sure can get pricey!!!!!!i tested positive for etg in May and haven't been tested since. Weird!!!!
