I think the reason why you are in your program and at what point in your nursing career you were forced to enter will determine your life after monitoring. Me personally, as you probably already know,...
I understand that the rule out clause is usually given before you start probation so that you are exempt from testing if approved by a specialist, however I was wondering has anyone asked for a rule...
Lol I'm literally in the same boat as you. I'll try to keep it as short as possible. I'm on probation for a DUI that I got prior to becoming a RN as well. Got my RN license in August 2016. Violated a...
It's been almost 4 weeks now since I submitted my job approval request. What's the average wait time for these things? I understand it all depends on how backed up the BRN is but it's crazy to think...

Hey all thanks for your responses. So what a coincidence but my workplace called me saying that I've been approved! I think me calling and bugging the crap out of my monitor probably played a role...

I'm in California but your friends story sounds like exactly like mine. I got a DUI (.20 BAC) before I was a RN and I was still placed on probation as a new grad. Not sure how it works in NJ but if...
Hi all Moderators please let me know if this is not allowed but I am trying to make a Facebook group strictly for nurses on probation in California. I know a lot of us don't like to share that we're...
Hi all I am a new grad RN with a BSN. During nursing school I found that my passion was for public health so now I am thinking about pursuing my masters in public health. Is it possible to work 30-40...
There is a board meeting for discipline taking place next week in Southern California. It's close to me so I was thinking about checking it out. Has anyone gone to one of these even though you're not...

I don't like talking to my probation monitor unless it's absolutely necessary and the last time I tried to reach the board they directed my call to my probation monitor. So yeah I'm trying to get some...
Hello all So my probation monitor and I bumped heads yesterday (06/13) over the phone. I asked him when my license was going to get reinstated since I signed the probation extension back in April and...

Best thing to do right now is to get tested asap so you're showing them you have "nothing to hide" and e-mail your probation monitor what happened. It's better that you let them know first rather than...

Congrats on making 3 years that's an accomplishment in itself. Can I ask you how long is your probation period? If it's 3 years long and you're asking to get off at the 3 year mark then I don't see...

Thank you all for the replies. As much as I want to respond to you each individually it would just be too much at this point but just wanted to say I took the time to read what each of you wrote....

Being that at the 2 year mark it is our right to petition for early termination, I don't see why the board would refuse anyone early termination if they have a strong case by the 2 year mark. (no...

I'm not in VRP/PNAP but I am on probation with the CA BRN (FirstLab). I recently tested positive on a PETH test and they extended my probation 2 years. I know it's not the answer you're looking for...

Thanks for the reply tral! Just curious, what state are you in? I was under the probation that if your probation is extended (in my case 2 years) then you would have to wait that extension time till...
ericninetwo replied to ericninetwo's topic in Nurses Recovery
I was drinking a decent amount and also this peth test was less than 2 months in so I believe that played a factor as well because non alcoholic beer should not register on a peth test. And you're...

^ I second gabby3's question. How long was your probation extended for? I'm pretty much going through the same exact thing as you sigh. Thanks for replying to the private messages. I sent you a second...
Hi all I know I probably should ask my probation monitor this but I don't want him to think that I'm trying to hide something or raise any suspicions. So I am on probation with the CA BRN (3 years)...
as the title says, i am going into a stipulated agreement with the BRN which has delayed the release of my results. I took my test back in April but was recently notified by the BRN that my results...
Hi all Unfortunately I tested positive for alcohol through a blood (peth) test in CA while on probation. I was drinking non-alcoholic beer during this time and I have been on probation for less than 2...
