    Are you looking for suggestions for employment or for how to deal with your licensing issues? If you are looking to deal with the licensing issues it depends on in what state you now reside and where...

  2. Sayings that help you

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are two things that people have said that have helped me beyond words when I get bogged down by the challenges of these programs and by shame (yes, it still at times rears it's ugly head even...

  3. Waiting on BON to review my case

    Twoyearnurse replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations on one yeah! Well done. Have you looked back yet and thought "how does anyone even get 30 days?" It gets easier with time and that first year milestone is a big one. Keep eps on...

  4. Waiting on BON to review my case

    Twoyearnurse replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello mate- I'm at work so this'll have to be brief- are you getting signatures at these meetings you're attending? And you successfully completed outpatient treatment? I can't really say what the...

  5. Feeling Isolated while on Monitoring

    Twoyearnurse replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

  6. drug screen

    Twoyearnurse replied to PCORRAL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would review your contract. It shouldn't matter how it breaks down as long as you follow the procedures set in your agreement. My contract requires a script from the doctor and then a clean UA to...

  7. Sayings that help you

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is what it is is a good one! I also tell myself when something frustrating happens "well, that just happened". It lightens the stress and makes it

  8. AA sheet audited?

    Twoyearnurse replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think AA\NA works for many people, not everyone though. The things that fill us are different for everyone. I don't believe in AA- I have butted heads with my sponsor over being agnostic and working...

    Twoyearnurse replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And- if you have already forged, accept that and

  10. AA sheet audited?

    Twoyearnurse replied to RickG85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello friend. I am sure that many have gotten away with that. My question would be: is it worth the stress that they could find out? Part of having a history of drug or alcohol abuse generally means...

  11. Feeling Isolated while on Monitoring

    Twoyearnurse replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hugs to you. The stress of this experience will wax and wane. Keep involving yourself in those activities. Being 100% involved and present in your own life 100% of the time is exhausting at first....

  13. Psych Evaluation to return to work(OH)

    Twoyearnurse replied to tatdrn649's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The very first safe to practice letter I obtained was from a counselor at my treatment facility. She was also unsure about writing it. I asked her this: if I maintain my sobriety, continue to attend...

  14. Psych Evaluation to return to work(OH)

    Twoyearnurse replied to tatdrn649's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Does it have to be a psychologist? I recently went through a similar situation and had to get a letter that stated "so and so is safe to practice medicine" and that is literally all. I got the letter...

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

  18. Innocent but guilty due to not being in my nursing field....help!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Su-z's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One thing at a time...it depends on what actions got you to this place. You're posting in the recovery section so I am going to assume you diverted medications from your workplace. Does your state...

  19. What is your definition of health?

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For me health changes every day. It depends on what is taking the biggest priority- sometimes a good nights sleep is a win for good health for me. Regarding physic as a marker for health- just...

  20. to hire an attorney or no? CA

    Twoyearnurse replied to ericninetwo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We are not allowed to give legal advice. I will tell you that from my own personal experience with the BON the first go around I consulted with an attorney to ensure that I said enough without saying...

  21. Drug test randomness???

    Twoyearnurse replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    2-4 times a month on average. Our tests go to a forensic lab out of state. Pretty pretty pennies :). I will report that I have never worried about a dilute or false positive. That *almost* makes the...

  22. Drug test randomness???

    Twoyearnurse replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Pets are the best! On my worst days my little friend always cheers me up, and if he doesn't he reminds me that I have him as a

  24. Do we recover?

    Twoyearnurse replied to restlessrecovery's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are not alone. I wonder- do you have any other mental health issues? I struggled in sobriety my first year often feeling word for word how you described until it turned out I also had trauma...

    Twoyearnurse replied to RN2364's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Three for three! I start my first nursing job under monitoring today as well. Remember you've worked hard for your degree, for your license, for your sanity. You would not be practicing if any of the...
