    Twoyearnurse replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Let's remember that this section of all nurse is meant to educate and lend support. This is becoming a throwing stones debate. I agree with happy wife- it is not our job to change imintrouble's...

  7. Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    Twoyearnurse replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No one here is saying you would make the same choices. They are just saying that you don't know until you know. And certainly no one is saying that these factors in our lives absolve us of guilt over...

    Twoyearnurse replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

  9. Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    Twoyearnurse replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Very true, I came to addiction by way of a traumatic event. We all have our path here. The good news is we have each other, the great news is that we have so many more in the wworld we haven't met,...

  11. Trouble finding job in GA due to probation

    Twoyearnurse replied to dgoo1269's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey! You sound like you may just be in the right place here. I am guessing you are not puting more specific information out there because your case has not been reviewed yet? If that's the case, that...

  16. Firstlab

    Twoyearnurse replied to ginettew's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Laughing at ourselves is always the best. On man, my first days in sobriety were hilarious. Even the worst moments (looking outside for the cops all the time)- not funny then, absolutely hilarious...

  17. I'm not a nurse anymore. I'm a cashier! Yay!

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I took a job at a plant nursey- it has been so good for my self esteem. I knew nothing about this business, but find myself learning something new each day. Coupled with being outside all day, working...

  18. Feeling down

    Twoyearnurse replied to littleBit28's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Take it easy and focus on what is on your plate first. That's a lot of stress to handle right now. See what the outcome of your legal troubles is and then look up your states nurse practice act- it...

  19. Belviq and drug testing

    Twoyearnurse replied to Murse82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've not tried this drug, maybe someone else here has. Are you 100% sure that it wouldn't show up? That's a big risk, not telling your case manager. Is it in your contract that your medical records...

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey dirtyhipiegirl! Sobriety. A very frustrating, exciting, irritating process. The last day I was a nurse was October 9th, 2013, also my last day on opiates. Add a couple of months sobriety and then...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Sandsponge's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey Toomuch! This topic has its way of coming around and being discussed, I have no opposition to that. Maybe you could start a new thread devoted to this topic? As a means of revival? I just don't...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery
