  2. DWI IN TX

    RickG85 replied to Blee88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yep, I told them about the DUI during fingerprints and she said "that's fine, we've seen it all". The equip or whatever it's called was more in depth but she just asked for an explanation and I told...

  3. DWI IN TX

    RickG85 replied to Blee88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Nope, no lawyer. This is in a different state but very similar rules. I just opted for probation with a mark on my license. The initial meeting with the board stated I get a drug and alcohol...

  5. Travel Nursing after Discipline

    RickG85 replied to uttxrn's topic in Travel

    Yea NURSYS will show everything, no sense in hiding it. I looked up a former colleague and saw their license had lapsed in 2 states, both of which has discipline, and a third state showing they had...

  6. Energy Drinks??

    RickG85 replied to Jas10's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I drink a monster a day (the ones you described) and have never had a single positive for

  7. Arby's Onion Bun with Poppy Seeds

    RickG85 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had an Arby's sandwich last night. The manager said there's no poppy seeds in the bun BUT after looking it up this morning it says it's topped with poppy seeds. Of course I was selected to test...

  8. Arby's Onion Bun with Poppy Seeds

    RickG85 replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did two dipstick tests at my hospital and they were both fine. I'm almost positive I'll be fine, I'm just less than 2 weeks away from finishing this and I'll be damned if I get screwed because of a...

  9. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    RickG85 replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Any of you with android should look into rooting your phone and installing a "GPS Mock" app. It spoofs your location so when you spoof it to the AA meeting and then check in it looks like you're at...

  10. Anyone else being GPS tracked?

    RickG85 replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know how IOS works but on android if it's rooted you could set "mock locations" which is basically spoofing your location to an app. I would just go that route and spoof your location to the...

  11. Question about OK peer program

    RickG85 replied to Kelso918's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The fact they didn't drug test you is a good thing. I would hire an attorney that specializes in this kind of stuff. There's a chance they can do their own investigation and determine the facility was...

  12. AA sheet audited?

    RickG85 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Anyone here know of anyone who forges their AA attendance sheets? I know we're supposed to input everything online but I'm curious about what happens if they audit my attendance. Do they just compare...

  13. Isolating, Obsessing, Life on hold

    RickG85 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm glad you posted this because I feel the same way. I started to try and be a little more social and meet girls but telling them (or anyone really) that I don't drink is such a buzzkill. Even if...

  14. A Few Alcohol Free Products

    RickG85 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wish my ex had done

  15. In TPAPN and currently in IOP. Tested pos in IOP...do I need to tell my CM?

    RickG85 replied to JustBreatheRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm like 99% sure you have the IOP people sign a release so they can discuss your care with your CM. They will tell them about your UDS, there's no doubt about it. Talk to your IOP counselor and see...

  16. Steps to reporting Med Diversion

    RickG85 replied to Bsnrn0815's topic in General Students

    Unless you saw the person pop a norco at the nurses station then I wouldn't say a word. I'm not even sure why you would consider

  17. Getting charged in multiple states?

    RickG85 replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Basically you'll always have those marks on your license(s) whenever an employer in that state looks you up. The state you do the monitoring program in will offer you an agreement to join a monitoring...

  18. Vaping

    RickG85 replied to jerseygirlxox's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've been vaping for the past 4 months and have no problem at all. I do make sure mine doesn't have alcohol in it. I asked someone once and they said only the alcohol flavors have a minute amount of...

  19. Failed drug test, getting reported to BON

    RickG85 replied to troubledrn12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have documentation that you were outside the US recently? Unfortunately these people look at drug tests as evidence you were under the influence at that very moment in time. My only suggestion...

  20. 7 months to go...and now this

    RickG85 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe there's an exclusion list of people that can't be affiliated with any entity receiving Medicaid/care (can't remember which). But those people are usually only reported to that list if you...

  21. Caution taking supplements?

    RickG85 replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I take a pre workout I get from Walmart and protein shakes and drink energy drinks and I've never had a positive drug screen, I've had over 30 UDS' so far. Yes there are false positives but they're...

  22. Abstaining from alcohol-reluctantly admitting it might be beneficial?

    RickG85 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Same... I'm a single male in my late 20s with a decent social life. My problem was never with alcohol. I hate this program so much because it really has limited me with certain experiences. Oh my...

  23. oklahoma peer employment

    RickG85 replied to 1nurse4you's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ummm... It means they have other nurses employed that are in the peer program. Some hospitals don't hire any nurse in the peer

    RickG85 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    We use affinity, my contract states we will get tested 24 times per year, I've been in since last October. I've had 24 this year as of today. Anyone with a set amount of UDS' a year ever receive more...

  25. Licensure advice with misdemeanor

    I'm not sure how it works in terms of any official decision (meaning the information will be available online with your license information) but you will have to go through a monitoring program....
