    Twoyearnurse replied to Starprism888's topic in Nurses Recovery

  4. I will not kick myself...

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    It never ceases to amaze me how at almost 3 years sober I can still create an uphill battle for myself. I got a job! Sounds swell right? Except I lost some very important identifying information and...

    Twoyearnurse replied to SororAKS's topic in Nurses Recovery

  6. What gets you through?

    Twoyearnurse replied to SororAKS's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Heya! Finding a job is hard and when I was getting bogged down by rejection my sponsor said "we are not trying to find you a job, we are working on your fear of rejection". Turning my thoughts to...

  7. Scared! Report to OIG and/or NPDB?

    Twoyearnurse replied to paidmydues's topic in Nurses Recovery

  8. Scared! Report to OIG and/or NPDB?

    Twoyearnurse replied to paidmydues's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi Daisy, I am in the NPDB and not OIG. My state doesn't have an alternative program so it's not something that concerns me a great deal (really not at all). My information is already out there...

  9. Good things coming

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

  10. Good things coming

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi, no I did not receive criminal charges. I did, however, get turned into the DEA. Diversion in my state is a felony crime, and thus they have five years to file charges should they choose to do so....

    Twoyearnurse replied to meloo1969's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most states have a standard contract. In mine- whether your problem was a DUI, taking one narcotic from work, or taking a slew of medications the contract is the same- 5 years. And yes, it seems like...

    I'm also from a state that does not have an alternative program, straight to the BON! But, I will tell you, that I've been in their monitoring program for almost a year now. And it's not too bad. The...

    Twoyearnurse replied to whodatme's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Twoyearnurse replied to cujowinfrey's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You want to check the OIG exclusions list (google it- you'll find it). Then enter your name and see if you are on it. If you are on this list you can not work anywhere that bills Medicaid/Medicare. If...
