    Now that I've completed my contract, what's next?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Sivraj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    making someone repeat a punishment/sentence after successful completion in a different state is just a money grab. I think it’s called ‘double jeopardy’ or something like that. Supposedly these...

    Florida evaluator

    catsmeow1972 replied to messedupbigtime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Everybody (and I do mean everybody!) seems to get Gainesville as an option. My experience there was that stuff that I never said and did not even have the base hint of truth to it, somehow made it...

    30 Freaking Days Left give or take 10 days

    catsmeow1972 replied to New mommy 26's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was irritable and POd as hell for the last 6 odd weeks. I had been running a Countdown calendar on my phone for years. Given that my states program is/was rife with corruption, lies, generalized...

    TPAPN and Peth test

    catsmeow1972 replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Or you could just not drink...... these jerks do enough to torture people without being given cause to. I get that we are human and people make mistakes, relapse etc. Those that have, for whatever...

    new job, can I be denied job for benzo PRN

    catsmeow1972 replied to seeing123's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I thought you were referring to IPN, given the forum you’ve posted in. Assuming those creeps aren’t all up in your business like they are with people unfortunate enough to encounter them, I...

    new job, can I be denied job for benzo PRN

    catsmeow1972 replied to seeing123's topic in General Nursing

    Nope...nada, don’t even bother asking. They are of the opinion that ANYTHING anyone has found a way to abuse is verboten. I’m surprised they don’t test for caffeine and nicotine. Oh but...

    IPN continues

    catsmeow1972 replied to OhNoUhOhRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So nothing has changed. Back when (2014) those creeps sent me my ‘choices’ there was (of course) Gainesville, Atlanta (who couldn’t figure out what I needed, they replied we do drug rehab, not...

    Florida IPN

    catsmeow1972 replied to SisterOdie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don’t. Do. It. They test for all sorts of random crap whenever and however much they want. I would not chance it. If you were to be tested for that ( and I honestly don’t know that they don’t)...

    Increased testing

    catsmeow1972 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    After 4+ years of mostly 2x a month with an occasional 3rd thrown in back when profits must have been down and they decided to add across the board PeTH testing, as soon as I got the fantastic job I...

    Help

    catsmeow1972 replied to WorriedNurseinAL's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That’s wild. Unless the question on the app was ‘has your license ever been under investigation, suspended, etc. etc.’ and you answered no, they’ve not got a leg to stand on. However,...

    Increased testing

    catsmeow1972 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You hit the nail on the head! Gotta recoup that money and no they don’t give 2 piles of used kitty litter that you gotta go sit in a urgent care with a bunch of sick people, and when have they ever...

    Does an attorney help against PHMP/PNAP?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jhope41831's topic in Nurses Recovery

    “yes I received a letter from the BON to see their approved Dr for an evaluation“ Sounds a lot like a friend of mine that is trapped in this unending circle of hell in regards to Florida’s...

    catsmeow1972 replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    WOW! I told you it was my opinion. I respect the office of the President. I cannot and will not respect the current occupant. IN MY OPINION...he has not earned my respect. The way I am seeing it, you...

    Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    catsmeow1972 replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    My opinion coming up, you have been warned....Trump and his behavior has normalized the name calling and insulting. I don’t care who he is, where he went to school or how much money he has, he is a...

    Can you not hire an attorney to help find a job?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Direct's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is up to individual employers as to wether they want to hire someone or not. Given a set of stipulations, an employer might be ‘unable’ or ‘unwilling’ or work with them. An example of...

    Not going to sign TPAPN Participation Agreement. What comes next?

    catsmeow1972 replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are things you can do with the nursing degree but without the license. This bioinformatics you speak of sounds like it might be such a thing. I wonder if you can contact the board and...

    Vanity Plates?

    catsmeow1972 replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Since I got out of nursing school, mine has been my (real) initials and RN. Even though some aspects of nursing have chewed me up and spit me out, I have picked myself up and moved on. Regardless of...

    Is this TPAPN order fair?

    catsmeow1972 replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I presume you have read enough to realize that these so-called ‘evaluations’ and these programs in general have little to nothing to do with recovery and more to do with separating you from...

    Exception to a board order

    catsmeow1972 replied to Direct's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, I tried the early release thing. Even my lawyer said it was a long shot (hey, I did appreciate the blunt honesty from him. Better than blowing smoke up my butt like the program had been for...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Ocean3269's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don’t. Do. It. Period. I have a friend I met through this hellscape who’s very reason for being in it was related to the use of that item for the same thing. The poor thing has been put through...

    + TPAPN Experience

    catsmeow1972 replied to LUNA-NURSE's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have always said that there is a place for programs like these and there is a ‘type’ of person (that’s not the best choice of word, I realize but I can’t come up with a better one right this...

    Why are my resumes ignored? For 2 Years?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Given the robotic, computer driven application process that many larger facilities use these days, you know darn well that human eyes do not see every application that is filed. Even if your...

    Contact after completion of monitoring program?

    catsmeow1972 replied to RK08's topic in Nurses Recovery

    catsmeow1972 replied to RK08's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It sounds like a ‘baffle them with ********’ kind of thing, because you know dazzling with brilliance ain’t nowhere in this equation with these morons. Assuming your contract had a designated...

    it all just stinks

    catsmeow1972 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For starters, stop beating up on yourself. It’s not your fault that these people are a bunch of tools that care about nothing except how much money they can squeeze out of a group of people that run...
