  1. Countdown roll call

    rn1965 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You've got this Cats! Knock 'em

  2. Revocation?

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello and congrats on your continued sobriety. My license was revoked in 2003 for not completing the "alternative to discipline program" where I was originally licensed. I now live in a different...

  3. 9 days left and I’m terrified

    rn1965 replied to polRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am 14 years clean and sober and yes, I sometimes get those thoughts in my head. But, I talk to someone, hit an extra meeting, etc. I try to remember the reason I have those thoughts is because of...

  4. What do you say?

    rn1965 replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They may already have an idea of what is going on. I know it is none of their business, and I know it is frustrating to you, wondering about their thoughts (and maybe resentment that you are leaving...

  5. Old charges and intemperate use in Pennsylvania

    rn1965 replied to Anonynurse66's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That had me spitting my coffee out! Haha! I do not know of anyone in PA, but, from what I have read on these forums and others, and I could be wrong, saying you are sober and having other sober...

  6. 11 hours and 30 minutes til my final check in

    rn1965 replied to Hunter67's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hahaha! Congratulations!

  7. Old charges and intemperate use in Pennsylvania

    rn1965 replied to Anonynurse66's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you have zero record and you are currently sober (congrats by the way!) then say NOTHING. Read through these threads and you will see that you will wind up in a monitoring program that will suck...

  8. White Coat Ceremony

    rn1965 replied to drsrn's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I had a pinning ceremony! Loved

  9. Calling BON

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would think that if the BON was really concerned that you were a "threat" to the public safety, they would not let you work so long without any contact. I know it must be frustrating to wait for the...

  10. TPAPN friendly employers in Austin?

    rn1965 replied to JustBreatheRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    To you TPAPN/TX nurses: I was originally licensed in AZ, and was revoked for not completing their diversion program. I decided to get back into nursing, but live in TX, so decided to do it here. I...

  11. Licensing question

    rn1965 replied to dinah77's topic in Texas Nursing

    I applied for endorsement and my original license was AZ (a compact state). I had to pay Nursys to send my info to TX. Not sure why they need PAPER copies?!? I am in limbo with them right now and my...

  12. Ramp in NJ- Why am I not surprised!!!!!!!

    rn1965 replied to Siciliyisbest's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What in the world? So, you cannot just fill out a form for all your meds with the understanding that if you add or delete one, then you update? That seems ridiculous and over-reaching to have you...

  13. Affinity drug testing

    rn1965 replied to Crnaworking's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Whoa....what?! So your case manager (if they decided to be shady) can tell you that you were positive and you won't know for sure??? How is it that you have to pay for the testing but cannot see...

  14. Job interviews with IPN

    rn1965 replied to AR-RN17's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have heard that dialysis is contract friendly. Also, LTC. I know that is not always the most desired place to work, but, if it gets you through your narc restriction, it may be worth a

  15. I'm free!! TPAN is over. Three years in the books

    rn1965 replied to KJE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations!

  16. Checking In

    rn1965 replied to KJE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Please let us know how it goes tomorrow. I am very happy for you!

  17. Countdown roll call

    rn1965 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh man, I would lose my ***t if that happened. Although, I can see where they may want to, to make sure you didn't "celebrate" too early. Mind games, my friend! Good luck and let's hear your...

  18. Scared to death

    rn1965 replied to CantEscape's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, take a breath. This MAY be a long road, but people do get through it. If you can afford one, GET AN ATTORNEY! One that specializes in license defense. See if they can help with any of this....

  19. Do I share my medical history as part of my story to become a nurse?

    rn1965 replied to LeviY's topic in General Nursing

    NOPE !!! Employers do not want to hear their health insurance rates may go up because of POTENTIAL large claims! While other nurses tend to sympathize and want to help that person out, keep it to...

  20. Career Advancement After Discipline

    rn1965 replied to tbrn11882's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wowza, I have never heard of a permanent narc restriction. Sorry that happened to you! I am unfamiliar with what can be done, but, I hope you will be able to find a way to further your education and...

  21. Have I finally adjusted emotionally to being stigmatized?

    rn1965 replied to catmom1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, I get it. I will have a permanent black mark, as well. And I know the HR people are likely just following some protocol sent down from the "powers that be". Probably working off a check list...

  22. applying for license

    rn1965 replied to soontobenewnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do not answer yes. Congrats on your sobriety. Keep up the good

  23. TX BON Letter

    rn1965 replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That seems excessive to go after patients, but, hey, who knows. Well, I would definitely try to obtain legal counsel for your license. Good luck to you and I hope it all gets thrown

  24. TX BON Letter

    rn1965 replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wait! What? I think I may be missing something. How is it that a PATIENT is charged with a felony for something that happened during extubation? And reported to the BON? Were you still...

  25. TnPap (Tennessee)

    rn1965 replied to ams0822's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my experience and from what I have heard, refusing a "for cause" drug screen is considered a positive by most employers and nursing boards. I understand your frustration with them, at the time,...
