    Florida IPN practice restrictions

    catsmeow1972 replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There was a time when IPN seemed to slam everyone with the same contract (5 years + many of the stips you stated above) regardless of your “sin.” Diversion was treated the same as a single...

    Malpractice insurance (NSO)

    catsmeow1972 replied to Anon143's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I’ve never carried my own liability insurance. I’ve always worked in hospitals so have never seen the need. In my roughly 15 years of working, I’ve been subpoenaed once on a case and it was from...

    Tpapn dentist

    catsmeow1972 replied to Oldpro1985's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my program, they ask for these kinds of things also. They also ask for your pharmacy name. I suppose that it’s because if you were to submit prescription info from a doctor not on file, it would...

    False positive/postive confirmed??

    catsmeow1972 replied to Clenurse24's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I’ve never had anything come up with a result other than negative, knock on wood. However, when sick or required to take meds, I’ve followed procedure to a tee and I’ve still gotten guff. I had...

    Purpose of the counting of days....

    catsmeow1972 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my ongoing “Great Big Job Hunt!!” as I like to call it, a piece of advice that I am getting is to wait until the end of the contract is nigh because then it won’t get in the way. The problem...

    I am convinced...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was fortunate in that I worked off my key restriction in an area where I did’nt hand out narcs regularly. I still got thrown into positions where I had to disclose this to people who had no...

    Nursing Board information

    catsmeow1972 replied to chadprepton's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My thougt is that how “fairly and appropriately” one might be treated by thier respective board and/or thier program depends on so many different moving parts, that any list of information or tips...

    Testing- hair/nails/peth

    catsmeow1972 replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you use Affinity, you can go in yourself a select a preferred testing site from the ones they give you around where you are at (for me, they are mostly LabCorp) I went to the same one few like 2...

    School nursing?

    catsmeow1972 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone been able to get into a school nursing job with a contract? I ask because I filled out an app for the job (in my state, school nurses are state department of health employees) and they...

    TPAPN time limit

    catsmeow1972 replied to 1nurse4job's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That’s the way it’s done here in Florida. A facet of most contracts states that you have to work X number of months (usually 12) somewhere in the duration of the thing. Working is defined as, I...

    Dr Office

    catsmeow1972 replied to One2go's topic in Nurses Recovery

    At least in my state, my understanding is/was that if willing, the physician could function as your supervisor (presuming you’ve got the supervision stips and what the exact details are). Of course...

    Testing- hair/nails/peth

    catsmeow1972 replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I’m in over 5 years now. By the time mine is done messing around, a sentence is closer to 5 1/2. Beyond useless overpriced, money sucking “evaluation” BS, I had nothing but P tests up until 7...

    School nursing?

    catsmeow1972 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did get an official “thanks, but no thanks” call today on the job. Like I said before, that’s really okay. She said they really wanted someone with more pediatric and case management...

    License Renewal??

    catsmeow1972 replied to OveritLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If I’ve learned anything in this roller coaster to hades, it’s to keep ones mouth shut. You’ve done TNPAP and finished it for some reason and somewhere in there, they know of the DUI and did not...

    School nursing?

    catsmeow1972 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    While I’ve been overthinking this whole thing (anyone surprised at that, raise your hands..I didn’t think so) I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to feel inadequate at anything I go to...

    Consent Agreement Error

    catsmeow1972 replied to Boxer4dogs's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Agreed. Very so often I think the same, but I don’t know what else to do that would not involve having to clean this mess up anyway. Depression got me here. None of its has exactly been what I’d...

    School nursing?

    catsmeow1972 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don’t have experience in school nursing. So there is that. But they knew that when they chose to interview me. And as far as the recovery thing, that’s been my whole thing...I got stuck in this...

    My last Day

    catsmeow1972 replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sadly, that is the case now with so much of these now. I feel the same way. There is a slice of people that benefit from these programs and find them to be life/career saving. I think that was the...

    Consent Agreement Error

    catsmeow1972 replied to Boxer4dogs's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do understand about the lab list not being up to date. I got dinged the day after Thankgiving. I was on the other side of the state with family for the holiday. I wasn’t leaving the state, so I...

    School nursing?

    catsmeow1972 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I guess it went well. I think I answered all the questions right. I was a group thing with the director of school health and a couple of the nurses. Honestly, if they pick someone else, I won’t be...

    School nursing?

    catsmeow1972 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not worried about the pay cut. The idea is supplemented by the M-F and 10 month schedule. I can find something to do with the rest of the time. Once the contract trash is gone, I can certainly PRN...

    TX new grad with stipulations

    catsmeow1972 replied to willjas579's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would wait until you have your license in hand. If said license states clear and active (IE..this agreement does not reflect on your license then you stand a better chance of landing an interview...

    Ditto. They have us by the cojones in regards to this. I have developed the habit of doing that delightful check in at precisely 4am every. ******. Morning (Monday to Friday, anyway). If I gotta go, I...
