  2. RN with restrictions,NC, Needing to network

    The AP does offer a support, from other nurses who have completed the program. I know because it was offered to me when I first started in the program back in March 2013. I find that luck has noting...
  3. I'm finally working, no really this time

    My board order will be GONE when I complete mine, it will not show up anywhere. As long as I do what I'm told for the next 2.5 years! Its a small price to pay for the huge crime I committed if you...
  4. It amazes me.......

    I really hope this works out for you! You need to come to terms and just let it all go, stop comparing your sins to others as well. Life is so much better when you let go of the past and accept who...
  5. Hca hospitals and ipn .........

    I'm not in IPN but I am in the AP here in NC, I too would suggest being open and honest about your program, Its not a good idea to withhold information and attempt to try and explain it later. If...

  8. when to tell a potential employer

    HR sucks! Pretentious, Judgy people who have NO idea what it's like to work on the floor! Many of them likely have skeletons in their own closets. Keep trying it will
  9. Consent Agreement concerns

    I know exactly how you feel with it being your birthday and all. My confrontation came on my birthday as well, worst and best day of my life all in one. Things can and will get better, nothing lasts...
  10. when to tell a potential employer

    I agree with two year, don't allow them to close the door before they have met you and hear your story. Keep it factual and short, do not make it the focus of your interview. I brought my forms with...
  11. NC RNs PLEASE HELP

    I'm in the AP as well, I was very blessed and found a job quickly after being reinstated. There are many in my aftercare group who haven't been as fortunate. Just keep
  12. Consent Agreement concerns

    You failed yourself when you failed to document. I think your lawyer is right but that's just my opinion. Somehow the BoN will pull up that failure to document is a practice violation and they could...

  16. TPAPN = prison

    it's a shame you're being forced to relive your past, it seems many people in this country need a better education on addiction. I'm in the AP program in NC and it too is very rigorous. With that...
  17. Pre-Employment Drug Screens and Perscription Meds

    Lying is a completely different subject. I believe honesty would likely have saved them, you are warned about not disclosing before you sign up to test. As long as its disclosed and valid, there...
  18. Pre-Employment Drug Screens and Perscription Meds

    Only in nursing do we condone illnesses and medications for our patients, YET somehow think we are above it ourselves?! Makes me wonder why I even became a nurse sometimes, and then I remember it was...
  19. Pre-Employment Drug Screens and Perscription Meds

    If you have a legit Rx you have no worries...if its illegal then you're in a hot mess. The MRO who reviews the screens will be able to see that you have an Rx or will call and speak with you about...

  22. First lab in NC ....called for hair follicle testing.

    seriously?! is this because you're so close to being done? I'd call your contact at first lab and inquire, I too was under the impression that it was a uds only deal. Not that I'd mind giving a...

  24. Is anyone willing to hire a nurse w/ stipulations???

    Good luck on the job interviews! There is hope and it will happen, not everyone looks down upon those who have made mistakes. I have been back to work since July and it has been good so far, i did...
  25. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore.
