  1. COVID 19 and Monitoring Programs

    rn1965 replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am only required one per week and I am allowed a SMART meeting for that and they do provide documentation/proof of attendance via email 1 hour after meeting. I understand they (online AA) have to...

  2. I quit

    rn1965 replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    Asking for a friend...a LOT of

  3. COVID 19 and Monitoring Programs

    rn1965 replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would hope with documentation, that time would just be forgiven by the program. But, I do not know. I know I was at an AA meeting last night, and several people were still insisting on the hand...

  4. Really America?

    rn1965 replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm with you! I am an old hippie and I cloth diapered my son, back when we used diaper pins and rubber pants over the cloth diaper and folded our own diapers! I also made my own "paper towels" many...

  5. I know it's crazy, but...I am so happy to get started!

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you! I know you are about done, so I look forward to being there, as well! Thank you! I may just do that! I will PM you. I've never been afraid of talking about it to people, I am just...

  6. The perfect storm

    rn1965 replied to MADDOG70's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Before you speak to ANYONE AT WORK OR FROM THE BON ---- GET AN ATTORNEY, YESTERDAY. Get a hair test, to prove no use. Again: 1. DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE, even your manager or pharmacy 2. Get an Attorney...

  7. Really America?

    rn1965 replied to GrumpyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I live in Texas, and I went to the local HEB the other night. People had lost their dang minds. NOT ONE roll of TP or paper towels in sight. There was a sign on the butter they were limiting it to...

  8. Job search with a discipline on my license

    rn1965 replied to Humblednurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just found out 5 minutes ago that my license is FINALLY ACTIVE after years of putting in the work to get it there! I am in a monitoring contract and will be for 3 years. From what I have read,...

  9. Current Nursing Student - Just Got DUI

    rn1965 replied to Old1139488843's topic in Florida Nursing

    Please, for your safety, DO NOT DISCUSS this with any of your fellow students or teachers or anyone at your school. Get a lawyer who can defend your license (future license) from TAANA.org and do not...

  10. Recovery in Indiana/IPRP

    rn1965 replied to holyguacamole's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Quitting is hard, I know. I am an alcoholic in recovery for 15 years now. You can do this. Do not allow negativity to keep you from your goal. In the beginning for me, it was one second at a time,...

  11. Job searching while under investigation

    rn1965 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay, I did not even know this existed. But, I guess there is a market for anything. Thank you for the

  12. Recovery in Indiana/IPRP

    rn1965 replied to holyguacamole's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That can be very overwhelming. I would take some time to really read over everything and write down your questions as you go. I know for me, I have the Affinity website where I can do all my...

  13. Getting my license reinstated - REALLY nervous. Advice? (involves hx with TNPAP and license discipline)

    rn1965 replied to SugarNSpiceX2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks! It has been a long road and mine was revoked for MANY years. I am happy to be back at

  14. Getting my license reinstated - REALLY nervous. Advice? (involves hx with TNPAP and license discipline)

  15. Weekend urine screens?

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in TX. I have to check in 7 days per week, but, although it will not be stated/told to us, I do not think we ever get tested on a weekend. Who knows, though. Hope I do not jinx

  16. Be honest or let it fly?

    rn1965 replied to Reese Nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That the test is not yet complete and in the system. I use Affinity and this is what it says UNTIL they change over to negative. The lab tells me each time the results are done within 24 hours, but...

  17. Recovery Trek options

    rn1965 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Spanked, aren't you getting close to the end? Maybe they need some extra funds before you go!

  18. Methadone clinics

    rn1965 replied to Shortykim4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is probably best answered by your case manager. I know in my (TX) program, the jobs site and job has to be approved by my case manager. In regards to people making you feel...

  19. Tested Positive For THC Pre-Employment Drug Test

    rn1965 replied to Stainahb's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So sorry you found yourself in this predicament. The drug screening place does NOT have to inform you before informing prospective employer. Sucks, but true. As for reporting you to the BON, it may...

  20. Affinity drug testing

    rn1965 replied to Crnaworking's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If Benadryl is on your banned list (it is on mine, in TX), I would stay away at all costs. No need to worry yourself over that kind of stuff! I use Affinity and it usually shows up right away as I...

  21. How long does this take ?!?!? Please help!

    rn1965 replied to Jim Rockford's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sadly, I am old enough to get the reference! Sorry this is happening to you. I know in some states, it takes a very long time to get to the nurse after an accusation. In the meantime, bank as much...

  22. HPRP Evaluation/ what do they ask?

    rn1965 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, it sounds like you are doing everything right. I would not self report to any monitoring program (unless you truly know you need the help) and defer to an attorney if it goes that far....

  23. I can’t get past orientation and want to be an aid instead

    rn1965 replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up. 7 patients 3 months into your career is a heavy load. Try another facility, LTC or hospital. And remember to go into your next job with no lingering negative thoughts of your first...

  24. HPRP Evaluation/ what do they ask?

    rn1965 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get an attorney, YESTERDAY! And do not speak to anyone until you have met with the attorney, then refer all questions to that attorney. Good luck and I am sorry you are in this spot. I am sending...

  25. texas bon approval for nursing school?

    rn1965 replied to DogDadThenNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not sure how it will turn out for you. I would say, if you can afford to get an attorney, and see if the records can be expunged, it may or may not help. I am not an attorney and cannot answer...
