  1. Seeking guidance..

    Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It depends on the state. I was evaluated by an addictions counselor and never saw an MD or Psychiatrist whatsoever. My BON accepted my treatment and their recommendations as was. Maybe some folks...

  2. Thinking about NP school

    Twoyearnurse replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most schools require that you have an “unencumbered” license. If you do land in a program that doesn’t require this, you will have to face the challenge of finding clinical sites who are willing...

  3. Seeking guidance..

    Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My experience with my board was that they followed the recommendation from the evaluator. I was evaluated and assessed to only require outpatient treatment and my board honored this. The guidance...

  4. Seeking guidance..

    Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in Alaska. I worked in an area outside of nursing. I looked for jobs that had the requirement of “four year degree in human services or related field” and figures, hey! Nursing is totally a...

  5. Seeking guidance..

    Twoyearnurse replied to MSRN3488's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Heya, we don’t have a monitoring program in my state (ever) and are monitored directly through our BON. Often the disciplinary programs afford the nurse going through them a clear license at the...

  6. Are we limited on this?

    Twoyearnurse replied to Jammer52's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Heya! These are good questions and while I don't have direct experience in this... I'd take a guess that you would need to clear teaching ACLS with your monitoring program. From your description it...

  7. Too young to get license back?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh, my apologies, I should have quoted what I was replying to. I have one year left in my monitoring agreement, sober for 5

  8. Too young to get license back?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My state doesn't have an alternative program so I am monitored through my board. It took them 12 months to contact

  9. Too young to get license back?!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi you! 27? Only working for 2 years as a nurse? Diverting? You are *exactly* where I was 4 years ago (I've got one year of monitoring left). The board cleared me to work after 6 months, I opted to...

  10. A Recovery Poll, Sort Of

    Twoyearnurse replied to TNPAPnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I intend to see how I feel when I am done with my monitoring. I have genuinely built relationships in AA with people who I look up and admire. I mean, good grilled cheesus, some of those folks have...

  11. I Need the Hassle of Monitoring

    Twoyearnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I share in the sentiment that my monitoring agreement helps me. We don't have an alternative to discipline program in my state so it all goes through the BON. My agreement doesn't even try to pretend...

  12. How much will your employer know?

    Twoyearnurse replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my state I had to give all findings to anyone supervising me. I think it depends entirely on the

  15. Death and Repossession

    Twoyearnurse replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Very sad for you today, what terrible losses.. thinking of you from Alaska and sending all positive and healing vibrations your

  16. Sick.. need medicine!

    Twoyearnurse replied to Nursealc123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've always gotten prescriptions for OTC just in case. It also helped me establish an open and honest relationship with my doctor early on so when I got real sick I didn't feel like I had to suffer...

  17. Relationships after addiction

    Twoyearnurse replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Relationships are tough. I didn't *just* get sober, therapy changed me. It changed the way I relate to my family and friends. Even if I had never used and just did therapy id be so very different (not...

  18. How to Acheive Balance?

    Twoyearnurse replied to PixieRN1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Harry Potter books on Audible :). (for the drive). I found that the first 1-2 years in recovery felt like all of my time was given to someone else (and never to the ones I deemed important). As it...

    Twoyearnurse replied to TKsprivatenurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What what! Alaska is awesome

  21. Eval on Tuesday, getting nervous

    Twoyearnurse replied to MFTinRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Take a deep breath. Generally speaking, the level of treatment recommended is based upon your evaluation. You may *need* inpatient, or maybe you only *need* outpatient. It's not necessarily the amount...

  22. Starting Diversion in CA next week

    Twoyearnurse replied to M2185's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can do this. It takes a little time to get comfortable with the stips and check ins, but then it becomes

  23. I'm back!

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello all! I can not believe it's been over a year since I posted anything. So glad to be back and that the same folks (and welcome to all the new) are here! Things have been good- 2 1/2 years sober...

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hello all! Spring is here and my seasonal allergies are out in full force. What over the counter allergy medications are safe while drug testing? Thanks

  25. Has anyone had any issues with rudeness when giving urine?

    Twoyearnurse replied to TraviesaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can choose to feel humiliated or to have humility. Shoot...even I don't choose humility, but I have accepted it. At the end of the day it's not that big of a deal and is moments of an otherwise...
