  1. Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    Twoyearnurse replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The logic is simply that you will be positive for MJ even if you are not high...there isn't proof that it isn't done on the job. It is also illegal in most states. Now if it was legal AND a test could...

  2. This is my story... please read.

    Twoyearnurse replied to yngbehr's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hear exactly what you are saying. Man oh man did I do some awful things I thought I was not capable of! Most days I go about my merry little way, excited about life, and...

  3. EtG testing - seems impossible?

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Those things will help, believe in that. ESP in AA, just believe it will work and it does. Slowly but surely my life is opening up. It became very small because of fear of...everything. Now it's...

  4. Sobriety and nursing school interviews

    Twoyearnurse replied to afbc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for updating! Like I've said before: most of us come here afraid with the idea that "oh my god my world is imploding and this ship is sinking and I need to jump!". Your story is beautiful!...

  5. Found a trigger...

    Twoyearnurse replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Right?! My sponsor always says "well it sounds like they are sick people". It usually makes me mad at first and then she reminds me that this is about my spiritual journey, no one else. Ugh! It is...

  6. Working with stipulations

    Twoyearnurse replied to moving4wrd's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to add that if she already has this idea in her head about what constitutes a good or proper nurse, your explanation isn't likely to produce the desired response. She likely views any use of...

  7. Working with stipulations

    Twoyearnurse replied to moving4wrd's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Are there any other nurses there you can assist? Even if she is not ammendable to you helping her, maybe others are. Even if she doesn't ask for your assistance, wait for a busy day where she is...

  8. Working with stipulations

    Twoyearnurse replied to moving4wrd's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh dear, I am sorry you are dealing with this. We all know nurses eat their own, and you do not bow before any man. You are courageous and strong. Deal kindly with this person. Continue to keep asking...

  9. Escaping your past mistakes

    Twoyearnurse replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This quote from Mother Teresa comes to mind about your situation: ********* If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. *Be kind anyway.*********** If you are successful, you...

  10. Escaping your past mistakes

    Twoyearnurse replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We can only handle ourselves as gracefully as possible. I've become a fan of saying to family "I'm stopping this conversation before you or I say something we don't mean" and then engaging in the...

  11. Escaping your past mistakes

    Twoyearnurse replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We do a lot of damage to the people we love. You are changed, has she? I recently went to an aa conference where this woman from al-anon spoke. Her husband is a recovering alcoholic as well as her...

  12. LPN in FL, failed pre-employment drug screen..What will happen now?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to florida_orange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The OP already knows she made a very very stupid and risky choice. Maybe she is like me and will end up diverting or maybe she is like the 90% of the population that doesn't have addiction issues. If...

  13. LPN in FL, failed pre-employment drug screen..What will happen now?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to florida_orange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You could always call your HR departmebt and ask when you'll be starting work...they may be able to tell you if you failed the urine

  14. Virginia Monitoring Program

    Twoyearnurse replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am glad you didn't misuse your medications. The psychological issues that come along with addiction are terrible (and that goes for anyone who has been hooked because of pain or to get high). I am...

  15. LPN in FL, failed pre-employment drug screen..What will happen now?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to florida_orange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think you're going to just have to ride this one out and see what happens...you're playing the what if game right now. Your friend probably knows the rules better than we do. That would also be an...

  16. LPN in FL, failed pre-employment drug screen..What will happen now?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to florida_orange's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am sorry you are in this predicament. And trust me...no one is here to judge you, I'm sure you are doing enough of that yourself. Yes, they will tell you if you fail. The initial sample will be sent...

  17. What is Prison?

    Twoyearnurse replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oogie you are absolutely right! Prison can be a state of mind. When I first got caught diverting my parents asked what was going to happen to me. I told them I was fortunate to be a nurse- that I will...

  18. PA VRP/DMU questions/help

    Twoyearnurse replied to random5656's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good morning, the suggestion by hunnie is a good one. Take this one day at a time- I know it sounds stupid but a mountain is climbed that exact same way. If you haven't started yet, attend aa or na,...

  19. Stipulations make it so hard?

    Twoyearnurse replied to moving4wrd's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey moving! There are some online certification classes you can take, google it, ensure they are accredited, and go for it! The site will let you know if there are any special requirements (I.e....

  20. new with monitoring

    Twoyearnurse replied to renne's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Asking questions and seeking guidance keeps us from doing stupid things! You did the perfect thing by asking. Our heads go around and around. There are so many good ideas that come into this mind of...

  21. Any experience with criminal charges due to medication diversion

    Twoyearnurse replied to DiaMarie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Deep breath, you can do this. I will also be having some charges come my way. We can't give legal advice here, but we can share our stories. There is a great nurse here who I talk to and I bet she...

  22. An anticlimatic end!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sobriety can be a very lonely place. I know I'd go even crazier if I didn't have someone to communicate with that understood. I have an amazing family who loves and supports me. Thank god the majority...

  23. Should I give up my nursing carrer??

    Twoyearnurse replied to DiaMarie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good morning! One thing I've found here is the overwhelming amount of nurses who worked high stress, direct patient care always and then found homes in dialysis or psych and have found them to be...

  24. Fear of interviewing for a job

    Twoyearnurse replied to RNMSN51's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh viva! That was worded perfectly. I never thought about not forgiving oneself as a rejection of others forgiveness. That is amazing and I hope you don't mind me sharing that with

  25. Should I give up my nursing carrer??

    Twoyearnurse replied to DiaMarie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We only keep what we have by giving it back. Have you considered working the steps again and sponsoring someone once you have? I relapsed after I had a few months clean and the difference this time is...
