  1. Wondering if a psych stay would be considered a relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do they already know you are seeing a psychologist? In my contract any psych help has to be reported on. If/when I do need help with psychological issues it would require reporting from my therapist,...

    Twoyearnurse replied to eknurse1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel you on this topic! I am now in the portion of my contract where I can work, the suspension is lifted. I have a psych facility that wants me. But lo, I do not want to nurse. The job I have...

  3. First lab nursing

    Twoyearnurse replied to Studentnursedgm's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is frustrating, hang in there. I feel that this is an appropriate place for you, like you said- we know the rigors of a monitoring agreement. How long have you been on monitoring? It took me...

    Twoyearnurse replied to Omaapecm's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I understand where you are coming from, and am in awe of you taking responsibility the way you are. addiction is no small thing and it is tricky. It deludes us into thinking crazy things. This past...

  5. Help stop unfair hiring practices for stipulated nurses in Texas

    Twoyearnurse replied to Nursinwill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it strongly depends on why you are under contract. i do think it is unfair to not hire a nurse based on stipulations that stem from addiction without any criminal actions (I.e. You have been...

    Twoyearnurse replied to TwinMommy2403's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hiya! First, congratulations on your sobriety, under so much acute pressure it is hard! I am almost at 1 1/2 years and am excited! When I first got into recovery I got a low key job, and then got real...

  7. PNAP unfair

    Twoyearnurse replied to Dale8jrbudfan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to agree with the above posters. We all did wonderful things as nurses. Patients loved me, and I had a five star review from my supervisor and a pay increase two weeks before I was fired for...

  8. Question for IPN Nurse's in Florida

    Twoyearnurse replied to SouthernPoint's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good morning jk! My state doesn't have an alternative program but I do get the fear associated with false positives for over counters. And my goodness reading your posts is like reading through the...

  9. LPN for 15years with no complaints\ reporting on my license.

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Big Blonde, didn't you get referred over to an alternative program? I thought I remembered you posting in the past that you did? I only mention that because I don't want the OP thinking her (his?)...

  12. EtG testing - seems impossible?

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I never thought of tests being a tax expenditure!

  13. EtG testing - seems impossible?

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It won't surprise me when all programs move to five years, most studies support five years. My state moved to five years after research found that nurses were relapsing in years two and three. It is...

  14. Unnecessary stresses

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good morning all! So today I checked my testing site and there it was! Plain as day! All check ins accounted for, testing on schedule, all negative results, and all tests paid in full... Yet it said...

  15. Unnecessary stresses

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My program doesn't use the laboratories that we have here in state, they contract with someone outside (which is ridiculous because rather than paying 54 per lab I pay 95). So it

  16. Unnecessary stresses

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So it seems that all three of my recent tests are counted as missed. I've talked with the lab and they corrected it only to have their system relabel it as missed again. Next step is talking with my...

  17. LPN for 15years with no complaints\ reporting on my license.

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately the BON works under administrative law. Here is an example: if my case went before the board (how my lawyer wanted it to) because they had but little evidence against me and couldn't...

  18. Unnecessary stresses

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oi vey, I am sorry to hear that. Most of my days are pretty low key on stress, I do a really good job of letting things go and not worrying too much. It's the things that side line me like this (you...

  20. Nurse felon needing a job

    Twoyearnurse replied to kandikissesrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would start calling private doctors offices and see if they do or do not take patients with Medicare/Medicaid. There are a couple mds here in alaska that do

  21. LPN for 15years with no complaints\ reporting on my license.

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think you gave great advice, often times early in this game we don't know what options are available to us. I know I could have benefited from accessing those resources that for many years I...

    Good for you! I am also "meeting upped" today

  23. LPN for 15years with no complaints\ reporting on my license.

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree, you sound like a job is what you are in need of immediately. I would still suggest meetings because you need some people you can vent to and who can offer guidance on how to slow down those...

  24. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am loving this discussion y'all! It's really opening my eyes to both sides, and to the vast middle that exists. It's a good topic as I know we are all at risk for

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just saw your question about if you wanted to hang it all up what would you have to do. You would have to tell your BON that you voluntarily surrender your license. Or you would have to wait for...
