  1. Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, congratulations on continuing your education. It is a ton of hard work to do, even without the added stress of monitoring. Second, to answer your question, NO, recovery cannot be imposed....

  2. Abandonment?

    rn1965 replied to karenrn111's topic in General Nursing

    Put in your notice. This is not the definition of abandonment. Also, for good measure, record every conversation with the supervisor and keep any texts or emails that threaten you. Good luck and...

  3. Conflict with friend/coworker

    rn1965 replied to Axgrinder's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked with a woman, in a healthcare related field, that also kept files. She had a spreadsheet on her computer and would jot down daily if someone took more than the allotted breaks (even if...

    rn1965 replied to No-soy-sauce-until-2019's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you and welcome. I am glad you decided to join the conversation. This forum has really helped me! Sometimes, it is just the comic relief, other times, the rants help me know I am not alone in...

    rn1965 replied to Txnurse4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know this thread is a little old, but it popped up today. Hoping you may know this answer: I currently live in TX (but not licensed here, or anywhere for that matter). I am trying to have my...

  7. Just Starting to Dig Out of the Ashes

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Spanked, your posts always brighten my day! Today, in preparation to decrease my expenses and start saving for the "glorious" day I begin monitoring, I bought a camper. Yes, it has a monthly payment...

  8. Still Waiting to Hear

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do not have a lawyer. Cannot afford one at this time. Looking at some of the cases in AZ, it seems like the programs are the same with and without an attorney. I am hoping to hear soon. Nothing...

  9. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    rn1965 replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man, I just pictured some fat doctor "feeling up" the gummy bears with a gross, snarly grin on his face, then walking away, only to have the next fat, gross doc sneak up, look around to make sure...

  10. Hopes for the New Year???

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not sure if it is, or not. I really love Austin. I never thought I would call myself a Texan, but, I have fallen hard for this strange, eclectic city and all the weird people who live here....

  11. Hopes for the New Year???

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Happy New Year to my fellow nurses in monitoring and those awaiting their fates (like me). My hope for 2018 is that I finally receive a decision from the BON (AZ) as to whether or not they will allow...

  12. So much for "step down year" in TPAPN!

    rn1965 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, that seems a bit excessive. What state are you in, may I ask? That is a whole lot of money escaping your

  13. So much for "step down year" in TPAPN!

    rn1965 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They probably figure with the holidays, some people may "slip" and they can then catch them, extend time in monitor land, make more money, etc. I hope it is not all about that, but, after reading so...

  19. Need Inactive license to take Refresher, but mine is expired!

    rn1965 replied to Erikaas's topic in Retired Nurses

    I was only quoting what I read on the Maryland BON website. An expired license, at least to them, is an inactive license. According to them, OP would need a refresher course, etc. Thank

  25. Need advice from my fellow nurses in recovery!

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for your reply. I am not in a rural area, so, I am hoping that the UAs will not be much of an issue. Since I have not been accepted into the monitoring program just yet, I am not sure who...
