  1. Foods and products to avoid

    Twoyearnurse replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a sticky wicket! Really any foods that partake in any fermentation (soy sauce is a good example) can create a false positive. This list is really good. I eat what I want but when it comes to...

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

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is hope here, I know it's stressful. You may get evaluated for addictions and in my state some contracts are only two years. I know it sounds awful but it is doable. You don't have to hang up...

    Great

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

    Twoyearnurse replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, your board should be notified. You've got a couple of options here- one turn yourself into your BON, or two- wait for them to contact you. This is a mandatory reportable offense to the BON so I...

  5. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's a tough call. I am an alcoholic and an addict, but per terms of my contact I am "allowed" to drink alcohol, even with my self admittance to them that I am an alcoholic. If I went out and drank...

  6. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think you are particularly wrong about someone being honest with their board. I do think honesty with some entities requires thorough evaluation before reaching a determination. Otherwise...

  7. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Then let's take comparisons completely out of it for accuracy sake. I also know many people in recovery, and many of them have relapsed. Some fly planes for a living. Some are nurses like me. Some...

  8. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to just say this, comparing substance abuse disorder with child abuse is off base. Substance abuse disorders fall on the mental illness spectrum. I will always have substance abuse disorder, I...

  9. EtG testing - seems impossible?

    Twoyearnurse replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most programs wont tell you what they are testing for. My program has different number assigned to different panels so I never know what I am taking. I do know that they can choose to test for...

  10. Nurse felon needing a job

    Twoyearnurse replied to kandikissesrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Keep pushing forward. There have been several nurses here with criminal backgrounds who have found jobs. Painstakingly slow at times. In the meantime, also apply for jobs that require human services...

  11. Question about criminal backround check

    Twoyearnurse replied to samirish's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You would have to contact your BON for the answer, but i think it's pretty safe to assume they will require

  12. The 28th

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    The 28th is fast approaching and I will be entered fully into my board ordered agreement. It is amazing how time just flies! I am excited to meet with my probation monitor and to start this next...

  13. The 28th

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you Oogie! I work really hard every day to stay positive! I am not without my bad moments though, thank goodness they are only moments though. This past year has prepared me well for taking on...

  14. IPN Contract/RN Boards

    Twoyearnurse replied to wonderingipnnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mmmm this article is unclear about the point it is trying to get across. Is it saying that programs need to be monitored from the outside? Is it saying addicts should not run programs for addicts? Is...

  15. substance abuse advisor

    Twoyearnurse replied to Omaapecm's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know some colleges will give a masters degree in another field. If a masters is sought in ones own field it is usually a two year program. I know my college will allow you to earn a masters in...

  16. The crazy hits again!

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    My oh my sometimes the weight of these consequences is very difficult indeed. I feel like I am reframing my life constantly and I can not wait until I settle into routine. Does anyone else get stuck...

  17. The crazy hits again!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh yes 1sttime I get that feeling! I have to share a funny not funny story here. This gentleman in a meeting approached me after I spoke once and said "I can not stand when nurses do things like you...

  18. The crazy hits again!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you all for the kind responses. I do work a very active program and my sponsor had to remind me the other day that sometimes no matter how thorough of a program you work you will still...

  19. Restricted license LPN vs. RN

    Twoyearnurse replied to samirish's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From a year of perusing around this site I would say it's equally difficult to obtain positions whether an lpn or Rn. I know in my state, alaska, they higher fewer and fewer lpns, typically lpns work...

  20. The crazy hits again!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well I can to back to nursing, but that's not my path right now. And most certainly what is not best for my sobriety. In the interim I am just trying to make things work financially. I'm looking at...

  21. Complaint filed against me but not heard from BON

    Twoyearnurse replied to KCLow's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It took my board 6 months to contact me, they do prefer if you contact them first. Don't do so without advice from a lawyer first. I didn't to before the board with a lawyer but I did talk with one in...

  22. Leaving HPRP

    Twoyearnurse replied to skinnedknee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've not heard of people later being arrested, but I would look into your states laws. For example: what I did constitutes a felony so my state could legally charge me for up to five years until the...

  23. Would you tell the BON about brief relapse?

    Twoyearnurse replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here here! The board is an entity that practices law. It's not dishonesty, it is not handing a legal entity a case against

  24. Rn trying to reinstate my license

    Twoyearnurse replied to RNAMH2009's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Y'all are great! And congratulations on getting back out there. This is

  25. NJ RAMP Program Hippa violation??

    Twoyearnurse replied to hello12367's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree, there does seem to be some painful unnecessary information displayed. My state does not have an alternative to discipline but they are kind believe it or not! After the investigation they...
