  1. Reinstated!!

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you all

  2. Reported to BON because of eating disorder!?!?

    HunnieBadger replied to RoamFreeRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maybe you should speak to the board yourself? I don't think the LCSW has a leg to stand on, but then again it can be seen as a mental instability. You do have a mental illness as do we addicts....

  3. LPN Drug Diversion

    HunnieBadger replied to Deebles's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You need to seek legal counsel, find someone who works with nurses and has a proven positive track record! Don't skimp on costs, it's worth it in the end game. Remember you get what you pay for....

  4. Happy nurses week

    HunnieBadger replied to MichelleRN34's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Happy Nurses Week!! I have had some employers that were amazing and others not so much, either way we need to be amazing to others nurses and be supportive of each

  5. Nervous about reinstatement meeting...

    HunnieBadger posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So I'm preparing my packet for reinstatement and have this overwhelming feeling like I am not doing it correctly. I feel like the board is going to find something wrong with how I've prepped it, and...

  6. Nervous about reinstatement meeting...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks... I am waiting to hear if they accepted my packet, if all goes well I'll be reinstated in 3 weeks time! It's the waiting part I'm having a hard time with lol. I'm just trying to stay busy and...

  7. Nervous about reinstatement meeting...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks Michelle, I'll be in contact :) Considering I'll be going out of my mind until I get a date with the board

  8. self reporting, questions/concerns

    HunnieBadger replied to sweetloveRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The UA's really are a solid road block for me as well. I think that if hospitals had random daily/weekly/monthly UA's it would help a great deal with things. I too wished I could've went a more...

  9. Another month down

    HunnieBadger replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Being vigilant is good, you're doing great and from what I can gather you're doing a great job of putting things back together. This is surely a painful lesson, I don't think many of us will ever...

  10. Another month down

    HunnieBadger replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's great for both of you!! Michelle I do all the time, I always have that feeling like I'm missing something. I went to my first aftercare last week and that has me more on alert than ever! So...

  11. NC LPN lost license..now what???

    HunnieBadger replied to lovess's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in NC and this program is tough, but I am much tougher than I thought I first was! I'm pretty sure you can get into the CDDP, but that will leave a mark on your licensure. Pretty sure once you...

  12. Help here

    HunnieBadger replied to Gonesilent13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to agree completely with A.O.A., FMLA would be a great opportunity to heal without repercussions. With that said death is all too close if she continues this path, maybe not from an OD but our...

  13. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Winter, thank you. Not only for understanding but the advice as well, thank

  14. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Per the rules of my contract I have to attend AA or NA at least 3 times weekly for the duration of my contract. I am struggling with the meetings, let alone the others in attendance there. I am not...

  15. nurses who have had a positive drug test and what the board of nursing will do

    HunnieBadger replied to chico0909's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Michelle I'll have to keep you in mind when I get reinstated! I have so much angst about being able to get back to work and having that understanding manager who is willing to give second

  16. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I still have the chance to be prosecuted, it's a constant thought. The program is for the BON, not a get out of jail free card. And criminal or not I still have rights that can and have been...

  17. admitted diverting, freaking out

    HunnieBadger replied to 1999nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maybe the new job is a sign its time for change. I had my chance to leave my job before all my wrong doings and if I had taken the other job, my path would've been completely different. Needless to...

  18. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Apparently you're missing a large sum of my life's story. I do own my addiction, I have never assumed that I am better than anyone or that I cannot learn from them, or even that I want a nurses only...

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

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I couldn't agree more with you! The way I've been treated and the ignorance I've faced has only given me greater direction. I was ready to go back to grad school right before I was caught. I'm glad...

  20. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I haven't been able to find a nursing group r/t AA/NA yet. I was given some info on Caduceus groups but they are all a bit of a drive for me to attend. I am doing okay as far as going to AA, I'm...

  21. transferring diversion programs?

    HunnieBadger replied to NYCRN82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Check with your board manager, NC allows you to transfer but you then are at the mercy of the new states program and whatever they want you to then comply

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

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm glad I'm not alone, but I'm sorry that it happened to you too! We made poor choices, it doesn't mean we are bad people. It makes me sick to even think of needing to follow up with someone

  23. Turned down due to nursing probation

    HunnieBadger replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's all good, you're just lucky to have less paper work and obstacles :) Either way congrats on only having 8 mos

  24. Turned down due to nursing probation

    HunnieBadger replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Michelle, I'm in the AP, I think we are in different

  25. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I too am thankful that this program allows me to keep things in more of a private format. I am also doing exactly what I am being told to do and trying to take what I can from these things. With all...
