That would be a great help. All of the stress is getting to me

I have been in the Va HPMP officially since August. It has been quite an adjustment. I feel like it is impossible to jump through all the hoops they have set. It is so frustrating my case manager is really difficult. Sometimes I just want to quit and walk away from it all. I need some support and advice. I usually have to screen twice a month the last time I tested they said it was dilute not sure how that was. I told her that I average about 80oz of water daily but never before a screen. They said that if I have another one they can make me do a hair testing. Which sucks totally and it was not something that was done on purpose. I am so so bummed out. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was told I should do HPMP and I was told that I would probably get a stay of dicipline. When I completed the program I would not have anything on my license. Is that how they explained it to you?

What is IFC?

My fear is that doing HPMP will make it impossible to get a job. I am a LPN not a RN and think that the RN's have a better shot of getting employment than an LPN. I feel like who would want to waste there time on me when they can get a new grad without any blemishes,

I am new to all of this. I never diverted I had my own Rx. Problem I have is the Md I worked for would just righta Rx for whatever I wanted whenever I needed a refill and not make a official office visit or question it. Well I am new at at nursing and I caled in meds all the time for the staff and providers including himt so I just assumed that is the way it works. Well anyway this has come back to bite me in the behind. I am being investigated bu the Va BON and I am freaking out. I have retained a lawyer but that does not make it any easier. They say I should do HPMP to save my license from dicipiinary action and they mentioned possibility of Criminal charges I thought I was going to DIE. Any advice

I am in Va. mine is not for diverting either, I did not realize that you had a thread for Va HPMP Thank you I will search for it

I understand the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is a terrible feeling. When I was let go I asked the question is this going to affect my license. My Sup said no I do not have anything to report. Then one month later I get a letter from the BON saying thet are investigating me. I have talked to a lawyer but I still do not know anything yet. He mentioned crimminal charges maybe and I thought my heart was going to stop. I never stole or diverted they were my own Rx's written by the Md I worked with on a daily basis. I hate this not knowing anf the fear of the unknown. My prayers are with you all right now!!

praying fo all who are in this situation

what would be criminal charges for a nurse and prescriptions? I think it is the not knowing what is coming next that is killing me. Should I do HPMP? I am freaking out any advice would be appreciated.
