  1. Wedding

    rn1965 replied to svetlana36's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only thing they need to know is that it is YOUR WEDDING DAY, and you want the day off from all the check ins, etc. Now, go on girl (my assumption here), and get yourself married! Congratulations!...

  2. I have a bizarre case...

    rn1965 replied to GladiatorBill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Given the fact you can prove these behaviors were a direct result of prescribed medication -- and I believe you, having been the "victim" of some weird side effects to a very old tricyclic many moons...

  3. Is board ordered discipline always public?

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe it is public, whereas monitoring is not. At least in my state (TX), that is the way it

  4. Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    rn1965 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    You and me both! Remember when we used to get angry when someone read our diary? Now we invite the world to see it and get angry when people don't read it/respond. Well, not me, but others! I...

  5. Approval from CABRN for physical/mental health examination for probatioln

    rn1965 replied to Kristina2222's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ha! I am in

  6. I have a bizarre case...

    rn1965 replied to GladiatorBill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is probably true. Remember they have likely heard every single possible story to "justify" (and I am not saying you are wrong for doing so) any type of positive drug screen/scenario. However, I...

  7. I have a bizarre case...

    rn1965 replied to GladiatorBill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you tested positive at work, assume they will report you to the BON. If you have already entered/self-reported and start a confidential program, that may be better in terms of the BON not forcing...

  8. Approval from CABRN for physical/mental health examination for probatioln

    rn1965 replied to Kristina2222's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just received my contract and signed it and sent it back. They are having me enroll in TPAPN, which is monitoring. That is why I need the evaluation, etc. It has been a long haul and I am ready...

  9. I have a bizarre case...

    rn1965 replied to GladiatorBill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get an attorney and a doc or NP who can attest to your dilemma. The attorney needs to be one who can defend your license. Congratulations on getting the help you need! Stay strong and visit this...

  10. Wedding

    rn1965 replied to svetlana36's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, and yes, ask away! Let them know it is your wedding day. Be prepared for a "random" test shortly after the day, but, I would hope your case manager will see...

  11. Potentially positive option 2..

    rn1965 replied to Bugsandlola22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am sorry this is happening to you. I hope you will take care of yourself first. I wish I had words of wisdom for you. I do not know what I would do in your shoes. Are you sure that the option...

  12. Student Returning To School After Seizure

    rn1965 replied to Melmel75's topic in School

    Aside from what everyone else is saying, who sends their kid back to school with a discharge from ER at 2300? I am sure by the time family got home, got pj's on and in bed, it had to be...

  13. I am lost

    rn1965 replied to apmarquez's topic in General Nursing

    This is the absolute BEST way to see if you will be happy in a certain neighborhood, side of town, etc. VRBO or AirBNB is short term and you can check out what the neighborhood has to offer. I have...

  14. Approval from CABRN for physical/mental health examination for probatioln

    rn1965 replied to Kristina2222's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is great. I am in TX and I have emailed about a dozen within 4 hours of me. The cheapest one is $750 and I had most tell me $1200-1500. I even had one say, well, I bill by the hour, normally...

  15. dwis before nursing school?

    rn1965 replied to DogDadThenNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations on your sobriety. Yes, you can become a nurse. You will most likely (but not definitely) need to comply with the TX BON monitoring or TPAPN, once you get your license or apply to sit...

  16. Nursing after attempting suicide

    rn1965 replied to em3120's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As far as I know, and understand, it can take MONTHS and EVEN YEARS for the BON to contact you. As long as your license states active, I would work. Make sure you are taking care of yourself FIRST...

  17. Is this the norm when asking for time off?

    rn1965 replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Agreed. I once had a PRN job in addition to my FT job. I would let the PRN hospital know what days I am available to be put on the schedule. They did sometimes call me and ask if I could pick up a...

  18. Peth test

    rn1965 replied to Rnbsn3089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I wouldn't chance it ever again regardless of the results. It is just not worth losing your license over. I hope it works out for

  19. re-entry after years away need advice

    rn1965 replied to tracylj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in TX and I am just about done with everything. I was licensed originally in AZ and mine was revoked. It is a long road but you can do it. I just received my proposed consent order two days...

  22. Light at the end of the tunnel?

    rn1965 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, it has been a long road for me. My license was revoked for my failure to complete and comply with the BON confidential alternative program. That was 17 years ago. I moved to a new state, have...

  23. Light at the end of the tunnel?

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks Spanked! I know I got myself in this mess, but, I am willing to do whatever it takes to fix it. I am a bit on the "older nurse" side and I often think of the lyrics to an old Jackson Browne...

  24. Light at the end of the tunnel?

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ouch! I did have to take a refresher course, but not the NCLEX again. I am awaiting my contract, once signed, I can get my temp permit to finish the clinical hours, then they will give me my...
