    Thanks! I will do that. I appreciate your

  2. Rehab Success Rate???

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maxdog, WTH??? Can they just change the rules on you like that? I mean, you have to comply with their contract, why don't they. Oh man, I am so sorry that happened to you. Is there a way you can...

    Stellababy, I am happy for you. Hang in there, I bet it will not be long! Glad you are done with the refresher. Let us all know how it works out for you. I hope you are able to find a great job...

  4. Against the odds??

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No. I will have to, but, in order to enroll, you must have your license stamped from the BON, for "refresher course only". At least in Arizona. I have looked into a few, and I think I will go with...

  5. Against the odds??

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for asking. I did not get an attorney, but, I did reapply for my license. I do have 12.5 years of documented recovery, along with letter from counselor and proof I completed a year long...

  6. Are you and alcoholic / addict

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Although I do identify as an alcoholic (in my opinion, it is a self-diagnosed disease and not for others to bestow upon you), I do feel for the folks caught in the web of these "catch all" programs....

  7. OIG Exclusion Proposal Changes to Early Reinstatement

    rn1965 replied to Leviathan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay, I am new to this whole OIG list. Forgive my ignorance. If my license is re-instated, will I automatically be removed from this exclusion list? Or will I need to apply to remove my name. I did...

  8. Relationships after addiction

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am sorry that your marriage is still suffering. While I was in rehab, my husband served me with divorce papers, it was devastating. That was 15 years ago. I relapsed one time after and have been...

  9. Ex turned me in

    rn1965 replied to Singlemomrn95's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not sure of the rules either, but, I would at least consult an attorney. Many will do an initial consult for free. I am sure that one may be able to work out a payment plan. I am sorry that...

  10. Need advice from my fellow nurses in recovery!

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    rn1965 replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad you worked your last shift. And I am happy you got to see that people did care for you and you were able to say good-bye. I know other mentioned it, but, I, too am "older and wiser" and I...

  13. Bad messed up

    rn1965 replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know it is hard to figure out what to do and to post here. FIRST -- keep our head up and in the game. I know from experience (sober 12 years now). Get into the nurse diversion program for your...

  14. Against the odds??

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    An update! All is going well with my application, so far. I have not been in front of the board, but, I am feeling confident. They are finishing the investigation. I have been completely honest...

    rn1965 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is a wonderful post. I am attempting, right now, to have my RN license in AZ re-issued. It was revoked in 2004, for substance abuse. Alcohol is my drug of choice. I have been sober since...
