  1. Job applications...

    Twoyearnurse replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is stressful, the great news though is that you are getting out there. Its not easy, but many here have gotten jobs

  2. Please help!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Krk410's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know you are worried about the pot issue, but really...in my state at least it's the same contract for psych issues as well as addictions issues. Does your state have an alternative to disipline...

  3. Job applications...

    Twoyearnurse replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with posters:). I would not put the exact reason on the application, only because it creates an automatic bias against you. I've known a couple nurses who were able to win people over in their...

  4. any nurses/nursing students on methadone?

    Twoyearnurse replied to milksteak's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey and welcome! I can't speak for the monitoring program, but as an ex opiate addict myself I will say that you will feel "normal" again. It is a new normal though- I feel better with the support...

  5. Relapse

    Twoyearnurse replied to elizabeth10's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's hard. It's not that we don't love those closest to us, it's that we don't love ourselves. Creating that false sense of security (drugs, alcohol, sex, thrill seeking) makes us feel valuable...

  6. Sooo lost....ready to give up nursing if that's what it takes

    Twoyearnurse replied to JoJo7737's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I will say this much, at the worst it you spent 50k on tx, IPN, therapies- it still totals less than how much you stand to lose it you give up your license. It is harder to fight for a lisence than it...

  7. Job applications...

    Twoyearnurse replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was not compatible with the job :) it makes them want to ask you

  8. RN with restrictions,NC, Needing to network

    Twoyearnurse replied to mountaintop12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey RNlosingitall, welcome to the site. I know it feels relentless, terrifying, suffocating, overwhelming, but it does get better. Give it some time, eventually things even out a little and you'll...

  9. TPAPN - 3 Years and Done!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Cat_lady83's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! That's amazing, you deserve this and should be nothing but proud! Watch for those addiction voices coming up in your head, a few people here said they got loud as soon as they...

  10. forgot First Lab call in. California Probation

    Twoyearnurse replied to onlytimeforme's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Justin...welcome to the site. I don't mean to be skeptical but why the plug? This seems to be showing up here more and more...I'd hate to see anyone try to take advantage of people who are already...

  11. Nursys and jobs

    Twoyearnurse replied to 10yearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is what you are hearing:). I know it's hard...really hard sometimes...to not let fear and uncertainty guide us. Just remember how far you've come, you've probably already surpassed the...

  12. Nursys and jobs

    Twoyearnurse replied to 10yearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Heyo! So I've got good news for you...here in Alaska we get the double whammy! The information is forever listed on our BON and Nursys. Wait for the good news here....I've met several of the nurses...

  13. Just a quick thanks

    Twoyearnurse replied to scottaprn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Uhm...you might be my new favorite

  14. Just a quick thanks

    Twoyearnurse replied to scottaprn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you thank you for that acknowledgement. I am certain any nurses you work with who have a history of substance abuse are grateful for you. It's one thing that we accept one another, it is another...

  15. Serious props

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I finally received word from my BON. I now have 7 months of sobriety, and have almost been out of nursing for a year. This past year has given me incredible empathy, strength, and confidence. I am not...

  16. Lost license due to alcohalism can't get it back

    Twoyearnurse replied to tmcv8's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First and foremost- I am so sorry YOU are going through this- I have been on both sides. Seeing a famiy member you love in the depths of alcoholism is terrifying and heartbreaking. It sounds like your...

  17. Florida IPN

    Twoyearnurse replied to sunshiine:)'s topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you called the program in your current state to ask these questions? Or the BON? They'd know best, although I'm sure that someone here has done this before. Hang

  18. Florida IPN

    Twoyearnurse replied to sunshiine:)'s topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm assuming your new state will require the same deal- evaluation and a program of some kind. Does your new state have an alternative to disipline program as well? This is key because states like...

  19. Finally!

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey all! I finally got treatment scheduled (six months practicing sobriety, four months calling/showing up, and finding a different treatment center later). I have been a very active participant in...

  20. Question for IPN Nurse's in Florida

    Twoyearnurse replied to SouthernPoint's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not an easy situation at all, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all of this. It is not easy dealing with situations in which there is an imbalance of power and it is taken advantage of. All we...

  21. The Unforgiven

    Twoyearnurse replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wait I'm confused here...she involved with AA (alcoholics anonymous?) yet drinks? Or does that stand for something

  22. Very grateful, but still stressed....

    Twoyearnurse replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Of course call, that is always an option. I've formed an amazing friendship with another nurse here, its been

  23. Very grateful, but still stressed....

    Twoyearnurse replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello and congratulations on your sobriety! Wow oh wow, your story and the way you've reacted to it is vverbatim my story, so I get how you're feeling. We don't have an alternative program here but...

  24. Just need to vent....

    Twoyearnurse replied to catmom1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in Alaska, and let me tell you...it is lonely here. Robin Williams has been playing in my head as well, I've talked about it at meetings as well as in treatment. I use that same laughter and...

  25. IPN Contract/RN Boards

    Twoyearnurse replied to wonderingipnnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good morning! For the most part I hear nurses here saying that they have had their contracts extended. Maybe a cut short is possible, but who knows. Did they not ask what medications you were on when...
