  1. Are you better off?

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Can you petition for early release from your program? I can and I sure am planning on it, but who knows if I'll get it. Really, as long as I can find a reasonable job in the meantime I will be pretty...

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

  3. Are you better off?

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well what are you doing about it? If you have some sort of real world campaign going, I would be thrilled to take part in

  4. Are you better off?

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I guess if there was some sort of compulsory chemo for everyone with a given set of symptoms and most people who had said symptoms did have cancer, and the side effects of said chemo were that I...

  5. Are you better off?

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm one of the people who doesn't need to be in the program and I was initially certainly very angry about it. I'm still not thrilled about it of course but there are so many people in my support...

  7. CA BRN: Experience getting MD to send CV to board?

    burtis posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So my board probation monitor won't allow me to see a doctor without first getting his or her CV. Problem being that it doesn't seem as though many doctors actually have CVs. How did you guys work...

  8. CA BRN: Experience getting MD to send CV to board?

  9. Rehab Success Rate???

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh yeah no question. It was in response to my inquiry over whether or not one could go to Smart Recovery or something like that. Has to be 12 step, no regard for it's efficacy. I agree with...

  10. Rehab Success Rate???

    burtis replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's funny, I actually cited the abysmal success rates of AA and 12 step (and let me say if it works for you that's awesome and I'm glad to hear it) to my probation monitor and asked why they wouldn't...

  11. pretty dumb questions for CA probation

    burtis posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    burtis replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

  13. Does license surrender automatically result in OIG exclusion list?

    burtis replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    hey gnurse, just curious what luck you've had finding non-nursing jobs with a bsn? my future is still unclear right now but i really don't wanna go through all the probation terms because i, like you,...

  14. So, tell me about Minot

    burtis posted a topic in General Nursing

    It's looking like Minot is in my future, gang. This will be a pretty big change from California but I'm ready for a change so here we go. What's it like? What's there to do? I'm not a big nightlife...

  15. So, tell me about Minot

    burtis replied to burtis's topic in General Nursing

    I start orientation tomorrow too! I'm in emergency/trauma. I've got dark curly hair, a beard, glasses, and I'll be wearing khaki corduroys. Come say hi, I don't have any social support out here aside...

  16. So, tell me about Minot

    burtis replied to wayemika's topic in General Nursing

  22. So, tell me about Minot

    burtis replied to burtis's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I just got back from going out there to find housing and maybe I can help out some other people who are considering Minot for work. The other big thread on Minot is full of panicky handwringing...

  23. So, tell me about Minot

    burtis replied to burtis's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, I've heard not great things but I am from California so at least I'm used to housing being absurd. As long as I'm warm in bed and I've got the internet, I'll get by! I will say thank you DM,...

  24. So, tell me about Minot

    burtis replied to burtis's topic in General Nursing
