  1. Option 4

    rn1965 replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay, let me get this straight. The monitoring program picked a facility that closes at 1330? In what universe does that make any sense? And.........your time is up??? They limit the amount of time...

  3. New to Recovery program and not good news

    rn1965 replied to Beazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know the BON must protect the public and I am thankful they even let us serve a sentence, so we may keep or regain our licenses. But..... I couldn't agree with this any more! I, myself, have 13...

  5. Austin RN needs preceptor and facility with orientation to satisfy TexasBRN requirement

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

    I will soon be in the same boat. Were you able to find someone, or some place that was helpful with this? Also, good luck and I hope all is well. I would love to know how everything goes for you. I...

  6. Money is tight

    rn1965 replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mind if I ask which state you are applying for reinstatement to? I am in a similar boat. 13 years clean and waiting for AZ, but it has been 8 months and no word at

  7. Starting over after monitoring: do you love where you live?

    rn1965 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have recently (within the last two months) purchased a travel trailer. This is so when I am done with everything, I can take off and go where I want to go. I also began living in it (me and my...

  8. Can ketones cause false positive?

    rn1965 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wondered the same thing a few years back. I did some reading and research. What I heard was no, it cannot. But who knows these days with the sensitivity of the new drug testing

  9. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    rn1965 replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WHAT?!?!?! Ten years of monitoring? How can you even afford this or deal with the stress? What would make a state impose 10 YEARS? Now, I am freaking

  10. Milestones.

    rn1965 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! I celebrated 13 years on 2/18/18. Man, hard to believe. I was one of those late in life "drunks". I did not start until 35-36 and was sober by 40. I too, have many happy...

  11. Failed pre employment drug screen in Texas, now what?

    rn1965 replied to NurseTexas2018's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is what I find wrong with these programs. Now, for me, I do have a problem, but am 13 years sober. For you, JoJo and for NurseTexas2018, it does not sound like you belong in these programs. I...

  12. Ohio BON help

    rn1965 replied to Lulu3387's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know for some people, this is hard to comprehend. Why wouldn't Lulu "just take the test". I speak from 13 years experience as a recovering alcoholic/addict. We get tired of defending ourselves....

  13. Nervous!! Counting down the days....

    rn1965 replied to Nurse8204's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Recovering, do you know if TX allows nurses with contracts in other states to be licensed? I am awaiting a decision on re-issuance of my AZ license. I currently do not have a license at all....

  15. Just a small venting session

    rn1965 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi everyone, just a small venting session! I have now been waiting 192 days to hear from the AZ BON about the re-issuance of my RN license. It seems foolish to be hoping for the contract, the pee...

  16. Diversion

    rn1965 replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are never your friends. I am sorry this has happened to you, especially if you are innocent of the accusation. If you are, get a lawyer and tell them everything. Get a drug test ASAP! If you...

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Very happy for you, Spanked! It has been a long time coming and you deserve to get your life back on track! Have a joyous weekend, but, no celebrating,

  18. Just a small venting session

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am sooo happy for you! I am going to start bugging them with phone calls. The one time I did call, it took over a weeks for the investigator to even call me back, then would hardly answer one...

  19. Trying to find work

    rn1965 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hang in there. You have come this far. I have read on this forum that some nurses go the route of SNF/LTC and dialysis. Do not give up. I myself, am awaiting a decision on if the BON will re-issue...

  20. Past DUI

    rn1965 replied to mosweetp's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It sounds to me like you got very lucky. I have seen some on this forum (not necessarily from TX) who have very old DUI/DWI and get slapped with three to five years of monitoring.

  21. Checking in

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have 12 years, 11 months (13 years on 02/18/2005), and I have been waiting on the board, for re-issuance since July. I thought I had been waiting a long time, but, 2 years, I would go crazy....

    rn1965 replied to M333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good morning to all you AZ CANDO nurses. I live in TX and currently do not have an active license but had AZ license revoked in 2003 for failing CANDO. I have now been clean & sober 12 years, 11...

  23. Still Waiting to Hear

    rn1965 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello everyone! A bit about myself. I practiced nursing for 6 years before alcoholism and addiction took me down. I lived in AZ at the time, and I failed the CANDO program (I did not complete due to...

  24. Falsely accused of diversion

    rn1965 replied to Kabhold's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would take this time to look for another job. Keep going to work, smiling and following their procedures. If you will pass the hair test, get one, and keep the results for proof. Definitely speak...
