  1. Virginia Monitoring Program

    HunnieBadger replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You ARE an addict wether you want to admit it or not. You had a psychological dependency to opiates, and I'd think that you're in denial still. You're posting is full of denial and I can see how...

  2. California BON

    HunnieBadger replied to rnbusmgr's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I didnt have to report anything to my other boards, my program is "off the radar" so to speak. As long as I do what's right, when I complete my program it'll be as if it never happened. What's...

  4. new with monitoring

    HunnieBadger replied to renne's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Simple answer is no, you are not allowed to go to the unmonitored state and work. To do so you would end up with more problems than not, you're looking for trouble with that one there. Your board...

  5. Should I give up my nursing carrer??

    HunnieBadger replied to DiaMarie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Id be thinking you need to figure out YOU first. Maybe once you have that figured out perhaps then and only then will you be able to decide if you should still be a

  6. Fear of interviewing for a job

    HunnieBadger replied to RNMSN51's topic in Nurses Recovery

    MSN I know and understand the shame you speak of all too well. I have been very selective as to whom I've told so far. It's not because I'm in denial with my addiction but because of the way that...

  7. One Year Later...

    HunnieBadger posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's been one year since my confrontation, the best and worst moment of my career. The journey has been an enlightening one thus far and I have learned so much about my own character and strength...

  8. Hello all

    HunnieBadger replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In North Carolina we have two types...alternative to discipline (AP) and Chemically Dependent disciplinary programs (CDDP). The first one being non-disclosed to general public and with successful...

  9. Another one bites the dust...

    HunnieBadger replied to Umberlee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats! You are strong and I have faith that you will continue to be. We are fighters, and it's true our war is never ending. Just take it one day, one minute or one second at a time.

  10. Turned down due to nursing probation

    HunnieBadger replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I found successful employment in dialysis, and know of at least 5 other RNs who are in the same boat as I am. Granted it was never my dream job, but I have found myself settling in well. Prayers for...

    Has anyone had to face this hurdle yet? I have legitimate medical problems and I have learned to deal with the chronic day to day pain. My problem is now this, I have been in intense pain for the...

  14. Help me please!

    HunnieBadger replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was referring to Philly...states that they don't have a chemical dependency, but a hx of DUIs and ETOH related issues... Seems I struck a nerve with someone

  15. Acute Pain and Hx of Addiction...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, I actually went to a chiro and he wasn't able to help much. He did confirm that I have a messed up spine and I am still seeing him 4x a week at this point. I did finally see my practitioner and...

  16. Help me please!

    HunnieBadger replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You don't have a chemical dependency, but you have DUI's... You DO have a chemical dependency and its name is alcohol. Obviously you had a problem with alcohol at some point and the BON just wants...

  17. Requesting to have my license suspended

    HunnieBadger replied to campus64's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I completely agree with now I'm clean, there will be so many more hassles trying to figure out all that mess with the board than not. You wouldn't be able to do a bridge program either without an...

  18. Acute Pain and Hx of Addiction...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's tricare so my relationship with my PCM isn't all that great considering that I get reassigned a lot. So I've not really had the chance to have a relationship with my docs. I guess I'll see what...

  19. I'm done!

    HunnieBadger replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

  20. Acute Pain and Hx of Addiction...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We can take meds as long as our forms are filled out and justified, my problem is going to the actual provider and not being seen as "just another drug seeker". I have MRIs, X-rays and actual...

  21. PEth Alcohol Test

    HunnieBadger replied to curiousrdh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    NCBON can test urine, blood, hair or any other bodily fluid they choose so and it's on the nurses dime! I pay $76 dollars per screening, so if you pay less be thankful. From what I gather the hair...

  22. I just need to vent to those who might understand..

    HunnieBadger posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So long story short I had to see my PMD to get paper work filled out for the BON. My doc wasn't in so I had to see another provider, during the visit I was berated to a level that was highly...

  23. I just need to vent to those who might understand..

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Because its easier to point a finger and blame than to face their own realities. Truth is reality, society is largely ignorant and it's not just addicts that are mistreated. Look at how society...

  24. NP School Interview

    HunnieBadger replied to PavementRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think that we make better practitioners than not, we have an inside understanding that many lack. We also understand the personal struggles of day to day life better than most as well. Be upfront...
