  1. Returning to work while In RAMP monitoring program

    odaat replied to Clara38's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is entirely not only possible but likely that you will find work! It may not be what you'd like to do and it may take time and a few closed doors and awkward interviews but it will happen. There...

  2. Can facilities see a nurse's career history?

    odaat replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I was once told by a recruiter that I shouldn't omit a short stint at the nursing home from hades because they would be able to find out about it if they did a search on me. Don't know how or if its...

  3. NJ DUI

    odaat replied to MikeRN14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you think the floor you're currently on would be willing to work with any restrictions RAMP imposes on you, such as no nights, no more than 40hrs/wk, no doubles, no narcotics, and no critical care?...

  4. Nursing with schizophrenia.

    odaat replied to Ambwee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to point out another thing you need to think about when considering nursing as a career...the board of nursing will likely ask you on your licensure application if you have ever been...

    odaat replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

  6. NJ RN in RAMP...can i Work?

    odaat replied to 1fastRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My experience with my program is that I was not allowed to work until the program approved me to return to practice which took about 5 months. Once approved it took me over a year to find a job...

  7. Looking for something different!

    odaat replied to slb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely ER! You get to do a lot of task type things (iv's, foleys, NGs, etc), you see lots of different things, there's rarely a dull moment, and you get to help patients and families navigate a...

  8. All my friends are RNs

    odaat replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  9. Nursing T-Shirt/Hoodie

    odaat replied to TiffyGiGi's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    While it is funny I would not advertise myself as an RN while doing a "bar crawl" or advertise myself as an RN who likes taking shots. The whole professionalism thing... Just had a random thought;...

    odaat replied to dbaray5239's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Good! It took me a year and a half to finally get my second chance and it was from Davita :) good

  11. Has anyone failed the NCLEX with the computer stopping at 75?

    odaat replied to wakeuptoreality's topic in General Students

    I went in thinking if I got stopped at 75 I would know I passed because there would be no way after just graduating with honors that I would fail at 75. Well I got cut off at 75 and thought I did...

  12. Florida DUI, Back-On-Track Diversion

    odaat replied to SgtSkeletonRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Is this a diversion program through the court for the criminal charge or the BON diversion

    Have you tried dialysis? They are usually very stipulation

  14. reported to board of nursing?

    odaat replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I had an in person meeting with the investigator. Another thing they did was call me for the meeting and request to have it the next day, leaving me no time to gather my wits after being broadsided by...

  15. In serious need of advice

    odaat replied to rainln86's topic in General Nursing

    I am 5'1" and my weight has ranged from 90-110lbs during my career. My size has never been an issue anywhere so I also think your problems are probably unrelated to that. Having said that, my first...

  16. reported to board of nursing?

    odaat replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Definitely don't speak to them without a lawyer. The investigator is really good at making it feel like an informal little chat between friends or something and it's easy to end up saying things...

  17. Va monitoring program

    odaat replied to OverwhelmednVA's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If we do I'm so sorry for you lol! I've actually not met anyone yet who has the pleasure of having this one too. Everyone's always talking about how nice and supportive their CM is to them and I'm so...

  18. Interviewing Advice

    odaat replied to LPNSWEETHEART's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would just say you had a SA problem, are in monitoring and have been in recovery for the time you have. The way you worded it sounds good to me. I never went into more detail than necessary and it...

  19. Interviewing Advice

    odaat replied to LPNSWEETHEART's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I always ended up doing the same as the previous poster also. Inevitably every interview I had started off with why did you leave your last job and there really was no other honest way to answer that...

    odaat replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    In your phone settings you probably have it set to not allow apps to access your pictures, maybe check

  21. What to expect during assessment for TPAPN

    odaat replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of a "non-addict" diverting dilaudid just for the heck of it the first time and then continuing on after that. The cornerstone of my addiction was insanity...

  22. Tough point in my life

    odaat replied to BearFeet's topic in General Nursing

    I second the above to NOT tell your employer why you are leaving, it can and WILL be used against you. The BON views mental instability in the same light as substance abuse as far as patient safety is...

  23. Possible job not using license

    odaat replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was told by my program at orientation that they would have to approve any position I got that was in any way associated with the medical field, even as a receptionist at a doctors office. I was also...

  24. What's the benefit of self reporting to tpapn?

    odaat replied to vampireslayer's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am so happy for you that they finally got their ish together and your job is intact! What a relief but yes I live with the shadow of what they're capable of through no wrong doing of my own too....

  25. Va monitoring program

    odaat replied to OverwhelmednVA's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ahhhh HPMP...my case manager is actually excellent about this. She usually answers when I call and if for some reason she doesn't, she calls me back the same day. I've heard I'm lucky in this regard,...
