  1. Types of questions...

    rn1965 replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is part of my biggest fear. I have been clean and sober for 13 years. Submitted so much documentation to prove it. I am sure they could fill an entire shred bin with the stuff. But, I am...

  2. Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    rn1965 replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have heard of so many things causing false positives. One thing I did read said that Unisom (doxylamine, not the diphenhydramine) can cause false positive for opiates. From what I know, get...

  3. Clinging To Hope

    rn1965 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel your pain. I had my original license revoked, in 2003. In 2017, decided it was time to get it back. I have been waiting about nine months for the board to make a decision. Found out, they...

  4. pursuing other licensure after nurses license revoked

    rn1965 replied to aflahe00's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it may be difficult, but, I would check with the state your friend is trying to gain employment/licensure in. One thing I know for sure is that license revocation places you on the OIG...

  7. And you think it can't get worse

    rn1965 replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    HAHAHA! Take some lotion/oils and ask for a massage, then whip out a bottle of nail polish, and say, "hey, while you are down there, mind touching them up for

  8. And you think it can't get worse

    rn1965 replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So sorry. That is crazy. It seems like maybe a money grab?!? It would seem since you have always been negative, not sure what they can further prove with a nail test. Just wanting to keep you on...

  9. When you have a rule that you don't 'friend' coworkers on FB

    rn1965 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I am with you. I have ZERO social media and I am not bothered by it at all. I know way too many people who have been fired or reprimanded for things they have online. I have a friend in management...

    rn1965 replied to Baby1720's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. CA BRN Probation

    rn1965 replied to jt925's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you can, I would definitely hire an attorney well versed in nursing boards, to help you navigate these

  12. CA BRN Probation

    rn1965 replied to jt925's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I could be wrong, and I hope I am, for your sake, but, I believe you will have to face some type of "probation/restriction" on your license regardless of the state. I know in a good many states, they...

  13. OIG list

    rn1965 replied to RN2364's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The application is lengthy and you can ONLY obtain one by writing and requesting one. Here is the site link: Applying for Reinstatement | Exclusions | Office of Inspector General | U.S. Department of...

    rn1965 replied to Patrick Eubanks nurse's topic in General Nursing

    There are schools, in Austin and all over the country that offer refresher courses. The 6 month permit is to finish the course with a preceptor in a clinical setting. The catch is, you have to find...

    rn1965 replied to RN2364's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Go on to their website and request an application. Fill it out and mail it in. I am in the process right now. I will let you know how it goes. It does take about a month to hear anything, from...

  17. Wisdom Teeth Removal

    rn1965 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am 52 and just had the last two removed a year ago. My wisdom teeth all came in straight, just not all the way. The top two I had removed in my 20's due to abscesses, the bottom two because they...

  20. Students (and others) using staff parking

    rn1965 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Same for me. I never took the chance. However, one rotation was done at a University Hospital. They issued parking passes prior to clinicals that clearly stated who we were and where we could park...

  21. Maybe a stupid question..

    rn1965 replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Being female, I understand that women feel uncomfortable with some touching and the guy should "know his audience" for sure. But, where has our common sense gone? Why are people so afraid to say,...

  22. preemployment drug testing

    rn1965 replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    BOOM!

  23. Getting charged in multiple states?

    rn1965 replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It does seem daunting. I am in a similar boat. I was originally licensed in AZ only (1998) and failed their "confidential" monitoring program. It was my fault, I just was not ready. I now live in...

  24. A little good news

    rn1965 replied to mom35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is very good news. I was not even aware they had a distinction. That will benefit a great deal of nurses, I believe. I know I have seen a few posts from nurses who do not belong in the...
