  1. Is it normal to not hear back from the BON in over 24 months?

    bboy45 replied to Nosnce's topic in Nurses Recovery

    But you're saying the board had already contacted you and did the investigation right? So, they already know the details and chose not to do anything for almost 2 years. I would think they are...

  2. Is it normal to not hear back from the BON in over 24 months?

    bboy45 replied to Nosnce's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't want to give you false hope, but I would think you're fine. The Board is supposed to intervene and protect the public from "dangerous" (I'm using their words, not mine) nurses. If they had...

  3. Florida IPN and Kratom

    bboy45 replied to Polman87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Please do not do that to yourself. They absolutely test for Kratom. Why don't you do it the correct way and see a pain medicine doctor who can provide documentation to monitoring that you do in fact...

  4. Malpractice Insurance for Nurses on Probation

    bboy45 replied to blackpear1981-MSN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in monitoring, and I have NSO insurance! You just pay a bit higher of a premium since you're in monitoring, I think like 50 dollars more. It's only 150/yr and the peace of mind you get knowing...

  5. Vault (FSS) Drug Screen List?

    bboy45 replied to california_rn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not judging you at all because I was very curious about what they were testing me for, but the truth is, you won't find out and they will never tell you. They use proprietary panels that they will...

  6. Kava while testing for affinity

    bboy45 replied to Keke2123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just sharing my experience. I definitely drank the Yogi tea with Kava in it during my time in monitoring, but I was always careful about when I did it because like you, I was terrified of any false...

    No I am working in Dialysis. I could work in hospital at this point, but no real desire. I am in the South on the East Coast. Would prefer not to reveal exact

  8. + TPAPN Experience

    bboy45 replied to LUNA-NURSE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would ask your case manager about the testing but I usually get around 3 a month here in my state. If you get one on a day you have to work, don’t know what to say other than you have to go to a...

  10. reported to board

    bboy45 replied to bridget044's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am doing dialysis now. I think it is the easiest job to get when you’re in monitoring and they don’t have narcotics so for me, it was nice to be in an environment where I didn’t have to be...

  11. reported to board

    bboy45 replied to bridget044's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello, Myself and 3 other people who I have met so far in this journey all did the same thing you did. We are all happily working as nurses again. Unfortunately, we are in the monitoring...

    You'll be fine. Don't worry. Lesson

  14. CA Testing Frequency

    bboy45 replied to RNCaliK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That sounds excessive. Maybe it will calm down once you have been back to work for a couple of weeks. I am in VA, but they will often ramp up testing around holidays, vacations, significant events....

  15. Now that I've completed my contract, what's next?

    bboy45 replied to Sivraj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have been curious about this myself! I will be in the same position as you once I complete my contract. One suggestion is to shell out some money for a lawyer who works with professional...

  16. How did I get here?!

    bboy45 replied to messedupbigtime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not sure, but I know my addictionologist has always been on my side and my biggest cheerleader. She would never do anything that would hurt me

  17. How did I get here?!

    bboy45 replied to messedupbigtime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My employer said the same and they held up their end of the bargain. I got my short term disability and cashed out my PTO. On top of that, they put me on a medical leave of absence and they payed...

  18. How did I get here?!

    bboy45 replied to messedupbigtime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh and just a suggestion. If you can get in with a substance abuse doctor in the meantime and NOT wait until you are ordered by the board or IPN, that would bode well for you. It would show that you...

  19. How did I get here?!

    bboy45 replied to messedupbigtime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Definitely second not mentioning past substance abuse with evaluator. Stick to the present time period. But do not lie. For example, if they did do a hair test and you have smoked weed in the last...

  20. How did I get here?!

    bboy45 replied to messedupbigtime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey! Everything is going to be okay :). Just take it day by day, step by step, but so far your lawyer has given you great advice. As far as how honest, do not talk to anyone about your addiction...

  21. + TPAPN Experience

    bboy45 replied to LUNA-NURSE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have had an okay experience myself. My current CM is nice, but I have to remind myself they are not my friend. I have seen them turn on people or suspect the worst of you in situations. It has...

  22. Help!

    bboy45 replied to thearsonist97's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Definitely get a lawyer that is used to working with nursing boards. Just Google "lawyers for nurses" and you should.be able to find some in your area. Let them do the talking. You might be alright...

  23. Kratom and TPAPN

    bboy45 replied to Jjpount862's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't do it. I know you just want a yes or no, but I think you should also ask yourself why you want to take Kratom? If you are taking any substance (besides something like caffeine) when it's not...
