    rn1965 replied to fergij's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Take a breath, although, I am sure that is hard to do. I hope things work out in your favor! Please keep us

  3. NP and Credentialing

    rn1965 replied to Regina-Phalange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, great name, Regina! Second, if it were a confidential (no public marks) program, then I would think you are fine. Congratulations on your

  4. Kentucky Board KARE

    rn1965 replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Welcome to the Recovery Forum. I am wishing you the best. First, if you are using your REAL name, please consider changing that. It has been mentioned that some nursing boards scan these forums. I...

  5. Any SC participants out there?

    rn1965 replied to Hunter67's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have no experience with SC, but would like to congratulate you on your completion of the program! I have not even started mine yet, and am anxious to get it going, so I can get it over

  6. Current student, need advice!

    rn1965 replied to BSN2021's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    No judgement here. We (at least most, I think) make stupid choices when we are young. If you can get it expunged, I would try. You may also want to visit the Recovery Board/Forum for some helpful...

  7. Don’t know what to expect

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not familiar with the BON in MS, but, I would consult an attorney who specializes in license defense (if the one you have currently is not), just to be safe. It may be that the BON in your state...

  8. How Much was your First RN Paycheck?

    rn1965 replied to igottaconquer246's topic in General Nursing

    Those statements we get every year make me laugh. I cannot believed I survived, let alone raise a child as a single Mom on the wages for some of those

  9. How Much was your First RN Paycheck?

    rn1965 replied to igottaconquer246's topic in General Nursing

    1998, Arizona. Acute care hospital on Oncology/Med floor. $13 per hour with benefits. I was allowed to work as GN until license came in. Once that came in, I was bumped to $15 per hour. My first...

  10. Criminal charge in CA, need advice

    rn1965 replied to canurse1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Definitely obtain an attorney that is well versed in defending your license. You will probably need both (criminal and license defense) lawyers, but I would recommend it! Good luck to you and I hope...

  11. Criminal charges!

    rn1965 replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am so sorry to hear that. I have heard that FL is pretty bad when it comes to "referring" nurses for treatment. I am worried (not in FL), because I have 14 years clean and sober and I fear the BON...

  12. Endorsing license NJ

    rn1965 replied to adventure_awaits's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would hope that once you finish a monitoring program in one state (successfully, it sounds like) that you would NOT be required to join another states program, but, I do not know. Hopefully, someone...

  15. I really want to do the right thing and I need help!

    rn1965 replied to HRCRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Talk to your nursing supervisor. Let her know your suspicions and tell her you are concerned for the safety of the nurse. I can tell you, as an alcoholic, the one way she may get help is because she...

    rn1965 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nice to hear/see you back on these forums. Congrats to everyone who is nearing the end. And to you, Spanked, as you embark on a new chapter in your career.

  17. Sober Living

    rn1965 replied to Goodlife29's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have been in sobriety for 14 years. No, you do not have to tell your children the gory details. Honesty with yourself, your support at meetings, and your sponsor or counselor are the only things...

  18. being kicked out of IPN.. help with understanding

    rn1965 replied to athenamcafee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My heart goes out to you. Your honesty will serve you well. I know that I am an alcoholic and I cannot use ANY mind altering substances simply for the effects. The fact that you stated you were...

    rn1965 replied to AzNurse2217's topic in Nurses Recovery

    rn1965 replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    My son was the patient. He was 3 years old and I took him for a check up. His normal peds doc was on vacation and a rather aged male MD was in her place. Doc was checking his heart and lungs, my...

    rn1965 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I celebrated 14 years in February and I feel the same way you do. So happy I am no longer a slave to the bottle. I never went to bars and drank, I did mine in secret, at home. The freedom I feel...

  22. New Grad Application Rejection

    rn1965 replied to CBerries's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know this can be very frustrating. Have you tried to seeking a professional resume/cover letter editor/writer? I used one when I first graduated, and found one who had worked with healthcare...

  23. Need help!!

    rn1965 replied to alan74's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, as Perse said, GET A LAWYER, and do so BEFORE speaking to them. Let your lawyer do the talking for you and make sure you do not answer anything without consulting your lawyer. You can get...
