  1. California diversion

    Erin1984 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Anyone else about to finish California's diversion program and they sprung on you the requirement of passing narcotics before you can finish? My program is being extended and I have to find a new job...

  2. One Year Down!

    Erin1984 replied to Purplenurse123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Where are you?! Your program is heaven compared to California. In my state a missed check in = automatic 30 days off work. We are tested approximately once weekly and it is an observed test. When a...

  3. Be careful in monitoring with urine and blood tests like peth!

    Erin1984 replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ugh. Let this be a lesson to follow all the stupid rules to a T. All of these programs will chew you up and spit you out and even having a day extension is torture!! I will say only a 6 month...

  4. Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    Erin1984 replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had to do observed testing in California for 3 1/2 years. But it was always with a female tester and I didn't have to get naked. She just watched me pee...and usually didn't even do that, she was...

  5. CA RN on probation. Not finding work

    Erin1984 replied to Nurse_JD's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did dialysis while in the program. I can confirm that it doesn't pay well. I have a friend who got a job at a good hospital while on probation though. And a few people I've met through NSG were able...

  6. Recovery RN

    Erin1984 replied to HMB28's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh wow, nurse support group is not a requirement in Connecticut? I had to go every week for 3 1/2

  7. Recovery RN

    Erin1984 replied to HMB28's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got my job in dialysis through a girl I knew in nurse support group who worked in dialysis. You have to kind of make connections and utilize them when you're in this program because we are not...

  8. 1st time DUI in California

    Erin1984 replied to Kmlee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The California diversion program is undergoing huge changes at the moment and I would REALLY do your research before joining the program. They are currently keeping people in indefinitely...over the...

  9. I completed monitoring

    Erin1984 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Alright you guys...I completed my California diversion program! I've been in since December 2020 and my contract ended on Monday. I was supposed to be done in April but with all of the changes they...

  10. I completed monitoring

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey there, I had my meeting on Thursday July 11th and I got a letter from them the following Monday stating that I had completed. They said it would take 2 weeks to hear from them but it only took 4...

  11. I completed monitoring

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it allowed me to check in for another 4-5 days. It was frustrating and made me question if I was truly done! They did tell me not to worry about it if I was selected to

  12. I completed monitoring

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Totally agree and I am sure I will feel the same way in the years to come. The California diversion program has become completely corrupt in the last year as well...joining forces with the enforcement...

  13. California diversion

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I completed the program July 15th. I'm very interested in joining some sort of class action lawsuit against the BRN intervention program. I heard there is one started but I can't find any information...

  14. 6 more days

    Erin1984 replied to JackieeD's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Even though I was done July 15 my testing app let me check in until yesterday! My case manager said sometimes there is a delay getting over to the testing company you're done. I tried to check in...

  15. I completed monitoring

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you! Like I said it doesn't feel real. I never thought this was going to come to an end! Congratulations for making it

  16. CA Diversion Program Changes

    Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was soooo disheartened and bummed last meeting when they had speaker after speaker talking about what was really going on in the program despite what they've been told by you know who. And they...

  17. CA Diversion Program Changes

    Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The person you are talking about is awful and a liar. If you listen to her in the BRN meetings she just spouts falsehoods and the BRN believes her. I had my DEC last Thursday and she was actually in...

  18. California Diversion Fit for Work Evaluation

    Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do not enter the diversion program in California. I promise you, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. People who have been in the program for 4 plus years are stuck indefinitely because of changes being made. If you...

  19. California Nurses

    Erin1984 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey I'm in diversion and live in

  20. CA Diversion Program Changes

    Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah it's completely ridiculous. I'm so bummed out about it. I've had a counter on my phone for the last over 3 years and now when I get out is suspended indefinitely. Keep in mind I've been 100%...

  21. CA Diversion Program Changes

    Erin1984 replied to C Rizzle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yep. I'm one of the unfortunate nurse affected by this change. Was supposed to be done in

  22. Privatization of Monitoring Programs: Profit Driven Motives

    Erin1984 replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The things that these monitoring programs get away with is staggering to me. I entered the diversion program in California (not by choice) thinking it was going to help me but all it has done has...

  23. fresenius dialysis and misdemeanor

    Erin1984 replied to nurse.etc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My program lets pcts work under my license. I guess it depends on your restrictions though. you will find a job! Keep the faith. I know a lot of people that had difficulty finding a job in the...

  24. fresenius dialysis and misdemeanor

    Erin1984 replied to nurse.etc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have Davita in Alabama? It's a dialysis company. That's where I work and they are very probation/monitoring

  25. Positive UDS but not diverting-anyone able to have the BON be in their favor?

    Erin1984 replied to NurseMarplay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm assuming you were taking something not prescribed to you? Honestly the nursing board will probably look at it in the same way as if you were diverting. Get a lawyer, don't talk to anyone. Protect...
