  3. Acute Pain and Hx of Addiction...

    Twoyearnurse replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It doesn't make you different. It's hard. Do you have a good relationship with your doctor? My friend brought in a relapse plan to her doctor when she went. She was upfront (the doc knew her history...

    Twoyearnurse replied to HunnieBadger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Her case manager also said that should her pain become chronic and need to be managed she would need to add a pain management doctor to her list. She explained that under this condition she could...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey sweet pea (aka Virgojd), just picture this: driving down a snowy highway in the middle of a snow storm, no cars, 65mph, temp at 5 degrees, three women in the truck, on the way to see my parents a...

  9. Stipulations and no job

    Twoyearnurse replied to tracy.bell5's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Catmom and Virgojd, I know how that sadness feels, something I realized though is that what I meant by "just wanting to die" really meant that I didn't want to live the life I am now. Two very...

  11. Stipulations and no job

    Twoyearnurse replied to tracy.bell5's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh Catmom, I head you on the unhelpful posts. I don't think anyone means harm by them. A lot of times I think that our mistakes are so fresh (by fresh I mean we live with them over and over in this...

  12. I'm finally working, no really this time

    Twoyearnurse replied to 10yearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As far as jobs outside of nursing- I was asked at every interview "why are you applying to this job if you are a nurse?" and I always answered the same way "I thought back to what jobs I enjoyed prior...

  14. How long did it take for you?

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was reported to the board three months ago, how long did it take for you all put there in allnurse world to hear if they were investigating you? Or just hear from them

  15. How long did it take for you?

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's difficult waiting. My lawyer and I have discussed the case extensively and agreed to wait to hear from the board because of how convoluted my case is (DEA and board involvement). I've been...

  16. It amazes me.......

    Twoyearnurse replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a good sign that someone is willing to vouch for you. All of my good thoughts are headed towards you tonight. So much distance but it is special having someone worlds away. Just know I am...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh, and by the way, you do get to rant fromTime to time about all of this. Have your mad, then keep pushing forward. I generally come to this forum and post my positive moments, but believe me, I have...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You're not...and you're right. It isn't fair at all. We are all redeemable given the chance. I actually had the pleasure of working with a couple nurses who had addiction/alcohol issues and they were...

  19. Need Some Advice...finding a job after long term rehab

    Twoyearnurse replied to iceangelred86's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree, I actually had a nurse manager say that a hiatus from nursing makes hiring managers suspicious. She said always say you took care of a family member (even if that family member was

  20. It amazes me.......

    Twoyearnurse replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't judge you at all. It is frustrating. Unfortunately, diverters, such as myself often don't get reported to the police (I did so I may face criminal charges as well as the board). From what I've...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

  24. a very good book indeed

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had heard from others how good "Impaired: a nurses story of addiction and recovery" by Patricia Holloran was. Good does not even begin to describe it. My sister gave me this book as a gift for...

  25. a very good book indeed

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I finished the book! It was really very good. My favorite quote? "the way I let go of things is by leaving my fingernail marks all over it". It's a good story about letting go. That's the hardest part...
