  1. Light at the end of the tunnel?

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am doing well. The state I am in is dragging their feet but have told me I will get my license, just need to sign the contract, once it arrives. I am emailing

  2. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    rn1965 replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    When my 98.5 year old, very alert, witty, but unstable on feet/high fall risk d/t cataracts, Grandmother was admitted to LTC/SNF, a "couldn't be more than 12 years old" PA came in, read over the...

  3. Is this legal? What are your thoughts?

    rn1965 replied to coffeecup's topic in General Nursing

    Where are they wanting you to take breaks/lunch? I would not think eating at your desk/reception would be very professional.... I did find this tidbit of info in a google search: Q: We are planning...

  4. Possible Failed Urinalysis After Accidental Exposure

    rn1965 replied to NurseSpouse74's topic in Nurses Recovery

    YES, BONs are specific to each state. This is harder to answer, but, theoretically, yes, they can get licensed in another state, especially if the current state has not finished the investigation (if...

  5. I'm so lost

    rn1965 replied to Nitenurse03's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First things first, get the help you need to stay safe and sober (if that is an issue). Second, get an attorney, and follow their advise. Third, do NOT beat yourself up. Addiction can and does happen...

  6. DANG to OPIOIDS. Gimme STEROIDS!

    rn1965 replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, was confused by

  7. Possible Failed Urinalysis After Accidental Exposure

    rn1965 replied to NurseSpouse74's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hopefully, that one puff from a vape will not cause a positive. However, if it does, lawyer up! The hospital (or agency) will likely report to the BON in that state. For peace of mind, go to a drug...

  8. CA Probation early release

    rn1965 replied to ellenflora's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations!

  9. Time has come! Cerified Letter from BON

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It couldn't hurt to have an attorney on your side when you meet with the board. But, a settlement conference sounds to me like they have an order ready and want you to sign? I am not sure. I am...

  10. Time has come! Cerified Letter from BON

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am awaiting my contract from the TX BON and I am told it will come certified. However, I am not familiar with MS. Good luck and I know you must be at least a little relieved that you will FINALLY...

  11. Michigan HPRP newbie

    rn1965 replied to Bravo-rn47's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not familiar with MI program. However, in some, night shifts are not acceptable, so I am glad you were able to do that. As for an attorney, it NEVER hurts to get a consultation and make sure you are...

  12. How much power does BON have?

    rn1965 replied to Taminator's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, so sorry to hear that. I have heard some nurses get to go on vacation, and "halt" their testing if they are in a place where there is no place to test. I have even heard of people leaving the...

  13. When Nurses Dream...and Have Nightmares!

    rn1965 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have had the flying (levitating) dream since I was a little girl (mid 50's now). I have tried to explain it to people and they never understand. I love that dream and miss it, as I haven't had it...

  14. Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty.....

    rn1965 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh my word!!! Your 99 days were up yesterday, weren't they? I guess dragging it our because they

  16. RN- Probationary license vs Court hearing

    rn1965 replied to jerseyJo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can get an attorney with license defense experience/board experience and see if they can help. I am not sure the terms can be negotiated but I am not familiar with California. It will be a long...

  17. IPN-requirement of being under RN supervision

    rn1965 replied to AR-RN17's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I have been told, it is the monitored nurses responsibility to "check in" at the Home health office once per WORK day. So, dropping in either before your shifts start or at the end of the...

  18. Wow, i need some help in AZ. Any advice givers?

    rn1965 replied to somedudeinarizona's topic in Nurses Recovery

    At least you recognize it now and are taking steps to treat it! That is the most important thing, your health. Get the treatment now, especially if you have insurance that will cover it. And keep...

  19. IPN-requirement of being under RN supervision

    rn1965 replied to AR-RN17's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Call your case manager. Maybe get a copy of the job description from the new place, to have on hand, in case your CM asks for it. I would assume that you could say the NP and MD are supervising you,...

  20. Just got the OIG letter

    rn1965 replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My license was to remain revoked for a period of five years, that is why my name was required to be on the list for five years. I am not currently in monitoring, but awaiting the return of my license,...

  21. Wow, i need some help in AZ. Any advice givers?

    rn1965 replied to somedudeinarizona's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was originally licensed in AZ and had mine revoked for failure to comply with CANDO (Was not ready to face my problems! My fault, not theirs). That was many moons ago. When I tried for...

  22. Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    rn1965 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    tinybbynurse: This place sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Something is terribly wrong here. You need to get out now, before you are swept into something that could ruin your career, license...

  23. Just got the OIG letter

    rn1965 replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was placed on the OIG list when my original license was revoked. They said it had to remain for 5 years (I think). Anyway, once that was done, I sent in the application and had my name removed. I...

  24. Can I lose my license over this?

    rn1965 replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, because you were dressed differently (hair/glasses/makeup), there is a real possibility that the daughter was looking at you because she thought, "hey, she looks familiar". There is also a...

  25. RN with stipulations looking for work in DFW

    rn1965 replied to Lindsay0802's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe we have at least one member here that completed DNP while IN monitoring! I have also heard dialysis is monitor friendly, as are LTC facilities (at least in some cities/states). Good
