  1. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have let my program manager know and my therapist as well know that it is not helping me at all. I feel like a fish out of water, and all they keep saying is just keep going and be open to it! I...

  2. Turned down due to nursing probation

    HunnieBadger replied to determined_nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know that in North Carolina we are required to, down to a conference call with the program manager and the hiring manager from what I gather. Best part of it (insert sarcasm here) is that if the...

  3. Does anyone else feel violated?

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are no groups that I have yet to find that are, I do have a list of Caduceus meetings although they do not qualify as AA/NA. I'm glad to hear you're learning about addiction in school. What...

  4. admitted diverting, freaking out

    HunnieBadger replied to 1999nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well you do have us here, and although we don't "know" you we do know the problems you're up against! I completely understand not being able to talk to anyone, I chose to keep my issues private. The...

  5. admitted diverting, freaking out

    HunnieBadger replied to 1999nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If they don't report you to the BON, you are extremely blessed and take it as a huge lesson learned! I hope for you this is the case, self reporting and being caught in this web is the worst thing I...

  6. Texas Extended Evaluation Program (EEP)

    HunnieBadger replied to Callahan, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Anyone know what policy there is with narcs and an Rx for

  7. TPAPN and EtG

    HunnieBadger replied to Callahan, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maybe once I've been through it a few times I'll start to relax, but right now I feel so on edge with all thats being handed out to me at once! My biggest fear is being kicked

  8. TPAPN and EtG

    HunnieBadger replied to Callahan, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have the same fears! I changed toothpastes, soaps and shampoos....still researching deodorants LOL Because if you're accused, even if you did no wrong you still

  9. suspension/reinstatment question

    HunnieBadger replied to mattheha's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does the teaching satisfy your work requirement for the Board? Once I get my license back with stips, my 3 year clock starts...until then it's costly drug screens and unemployment! Teaching would be...

  10. MI nurse looking for HPRP advice

    HunnieBadger replied to amber24c's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not sure that any states programs to help nurses are any better than the other. Most are very punitive and stressful, that you in no way can feel any benefits from therapies! Just keep in mind...

  11. First borns, RNs, and Alcoholism

    HunnieBadger replied to jodivoss's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm second in line and the "problem child". My oldest sibling was never one to cause problems, and is actually deemed the "golden child". So I too hate to break the bubble by saying it's not the...

  12. TPAPN Drug Testing and Work Hours

    HunnieBadger replied to Callahan, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here in North Carolina we are told no matter what, if you're chosen you go-if you don't it's an automatic fail. They couldn't give a rats booty what you have going on, they own us for the time being....

  13. Still in disbelief...

    HunnieBadger posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    This process is still setting in with me and I'm having a hard time finding support groups that are dedicated to health care providers with addiction/recovery here in North Carolina. Any other Nurses...

  14. Still in disbelief...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm thankful that I have my husband, or I'd be in that same situation in a few months! I try to just keep count of the positives. I really wish there was a nurses support

  15. Still in disbelief...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm hoping to have my license back by May or June, with stips for the next 3 years of course. Hopefully I'll be blessed with a job as well! Did you hire a lawyer when you went before the board? I'm...

  16. Drug screening with first lab.

    HunnieBadger replied to carrimarie1010's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd much rather have a flat rate than to pay per test. It'd be much more budget

  17. good book- Jackstem??

    HunnieBadger replied to TXRN2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a very good read

  18. Still in disbelief...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think I have any choice (or the doctor saying so) about AA/NA or not (although I've never had an alcohol problem they state the potential for cross addiction) So long as I make it through this...

  19. Still in disbelief...

    HunnieBadger replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Greensboro isn't too far from here. Have you found any meetings geared towards healthcare professionals with addiction in the area, I'm having a difficult time with the NA

  20. Throw Away Nurses

    HunnieBadger replied to kmcguirern's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you tried legal action considering that they are directly telling you that the reason for not being hired is d/t your disease?? It's a blatant violation, and very bold of them to just say so! In...

    HunnieBadger replied to GA_RN2006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're story is so very similar to mine! I just lost my job d/t diversion of Percocet 2 weeks ago. I reported to the ncbon before my employer did and just starting out on my path in the AP program....
