Hi StacyLynnRN, I finished the program in WI about 1.5 years ago & based on the hospitals you are describing, have a feeling you & I live in the same area of WI. I was able to find employment doing case management during my PAP. I also did s...

I'm on my 3rd one...no notification when any of the changes took place. Seems to be a running theme in these programs. As far as your question of will any of your "served time be lost" when your monitors have changed,I wouldn't worry about that. The ...
I am in a monitoring program in WI on a 5 year contract. Like many others have said, most contracts state the frequency of UDS per year. I was ordered to test "not less than 49 times" my first year, and boy, that was freaking expensive!!!! It average...
