    RickG85 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm almost a year into my program and today at work I had a sip of a Green Lizard wondering what in the world it tastes like. I always assumed it was lidocaine and Maalox. Well someone pointed out it...

  3. Adderall addiction

    RickG85 replied to wondergirl22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    RickG85 replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

  8. New to PEER in Oklahoma - Could use some advice :(

    RickG85 replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just want to say thank you to everyone! The kind words and support I see here is very encouraging. This program has a rather awful stigma attached to it (which I understand.. to an extent) and has...

  9. New to PEER in Oklahoma - Could use some advice :(

    RickG85 replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had to go to my Dr. and BEG him to give me the option to self cath. He eventually wrote an order for it and faxed it to them. I had a "non compliance" meeting (for turning my nursing card in a day...
