Inappropriate nurse support groups

catsmeow1972 replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

Cheez and rice!!!!! So you're like paying the facilitator for a coffee klatch that they don't even have to come to? That's lovely. Figures....cue audible eye
Inappropriate nurse support groups

catsmeow1972 replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

I think since he got to go back to the ER, he's probably very busy. Given that one of his biggest upsets was the drop in income, I imagine that he's hitting the overtime pretty hard. But, yeah I miss...
Observed drug screen

catsmeow1972 replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

Mine has not required this of me (and I hope to Hades never does) in the language of the contract but having been shoved through the horror of more than one assault on my wallet that this junk calls...
Inappropriate nurse support groups

catsmeow1972 replied to LindsayRNL's topic in Nurses Recovery

I will frankly straight up say that I go because I am forced to. Ditto with the AA, etc. meetings. At the end of this nightmare, neither will ever see my face again and I will miss them like one would...
Missed opportunities

catsmeow1972 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

You have my unending admiration for looking at things this way. At least while I am under the carbuncle ridden thumb of this program, it is very easy to see the missed opportunities and near...
Drug test results?

catsmeow1972 replied to RNEulogy's topic in Nurses Recovery

I would not let it lapse because I think that would give the people here an excuse to try to con you into thier program. It would be equally as asinine as HPRP, I can promise you that. I would renew...
Missed opportunities

catsmeow1972 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

My thing is that I wouldn't call my relationship with my CM 'good'. The less contact that I have, the better. These people would not even spare me the randoms when I was down for the count after major...
Missed opportunities

catsmeow1972 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

Right now I am seesawing in my own corner on this very issue. I have an opportunity to go on a delightful vacation to the Jersey shore with my boyfriend at the end of August. Thus far I have shied...
Being monitored but would like to move to another state

catsmeow1972 replied to Michellercruz's topic in Nurses Recovery

I suppose the idea behind forcing the nursing issue to be cleared up before beginning any other profession was to not allow someone with a discipline issue to simply toss nursing and transition to say...
IPN Neuropsych Eval

catsmeow1972 replied to sheracraft's topic in Nurses Recovery

Heck yeah! That's exactly what it is. 99% of all of this has devolved into nothing but a big money grab. Suck ya dry and dump you out on the street. None of these people care one whit about your...
Trouble at the lab today, what to do?

catsmeow1972 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

Mine too was negative. I had gone later than I normally do and the regular lab tech wasn't there. Last time I do that. Back to waitin on thier doorstep at 7am
Am I the only one who thinks this is wildly inappropriate?

catsmeow1972 replied to Rainbow_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

I do believe that there still needs to be some professional distance between nurse and patient. Just as between teacher and student, we are not friends. That being said, there are ways to word things...
Starting the IPN in Florida

catsmeow1972 replied to sheracraft's topic in Nurses Recovery

That was the word I got from the initial evaluation. That cost me ANOTHER $3000 some. None of the initial choices I was given could do what they were wanting. (Curious that IPN would give me options...
So much anger

catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

Wow. These are words of wisdom from a 'new LPN (of 6 or so months) who has lost their motivation to be a nurse?' Yes I looked at the poster's profile and other posts for insight in what they were...
Trouble at the lab today, what to do?

catsmeow1972 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

First time I'd gone today and my regular person wasn't there. Jeez, lord almighty!!! I had to point out to this person that no I did not have the 'order' and to check the fax machine. No she did not...
Anyone else obsessively check test results?

catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

Yes. Just yes. I'm already a little obsessive and high anxiety about things. All this monitoring trash has done me no favors in that department. Even though I'm 99.999999% sure I did that dumb check...
The Business of Recovery

catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

I agree with you 100%. (And not just because no one ever disagreed with my posts on the recovery forum, or I don't think so anyway:sarcastic: ) I feel that just as with rehab, there is a place for the...
Hprp special option test on probation

catsmeow1972 replied to RNEulogy's topic in Nurses Recovery

Pfft, I got railroaded into ANOTHER evaluation awhile back for no other reason other than some little smidge of gossip between the CM and a person/facility I had recently left the employ of. In spite...
The Business of Recovery

catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

I have heard this (from a person that sees a particular therapist.) said therapist had recommended outpatient treatment on a person they evaluated and the recommendation was totally disregarded in...
The Business of Recovery

catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

^^^^this^^^^ x100 It is almost as if the peer programs have taken lessons from the 'rehab machine' and applied them to thier own uses. We now have the peer assistance programs that claim to advocate...
Have I proceeded correctly?

catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

Angry and defiant? Gee I can't imagine why? I suppose 'uneventful' is the nicest thing they can come up with because to be complimentary would be well mind boggling because we are all 'bad nurses' who...
HMMMM.....What the Heck!

catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

This is one of the reasons why I make a point to go only to a Labcorp for these dang things. As if it's not bad enough that I have to puke up $55 to have it done, I refuse to pay still more to any...
Have I proceeded correctly?

catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

I do believe that you have vicariously made it possible for the rest of us (or at least me) to be able to walk around with our heads just a bit higher, knowing that there is someone out there that has...
HMMMM.....What the Heck!

catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

Some little goblin of a clerk has to justify the existence of thier job by filling out tons of little green certified mail cards and sending them out asking for information they've already
Have I proceeded correctly?

catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

Queen of the Underworld indeed!!!! Thank you Eris!!, I had not made that connection. Sailing the river Styx of monitoring....oh geez, now I'm having a visual of Cerberus, the hound of Hades as a case...
