    Done

    catsmeow1972 replied to Meq815's topic in Nurses Recovery

    By 30 days I think I might be contemplating a registered letter threatening legal action for keeping you in this prison AND charging you for it way beyond what you signed the contract for. 4/8 is 4/8,...

    Starting the IPN in Florida

    catsmeow1972 replied to sheracraft's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In deference to the TOS, and an abbreviated opinion, I would suggest Gainesville. I think they have more than just IPN/PRN for clients. That means they actually have to keep to certain standards....

    Have I proceeded correctly?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My contract has something in it about "a readiness to complete evaluation may be required." What in blazes for? They've been up our you know whats for however many years with P tests or more,...

    Grad school and OJG exclusion list

    catsmeow1972 replied to Sabatino's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most if us stuck in a contract, even though not on that list have still run into this issue. The majority of schools want an "unencumbered license." In short that means no restrictions of any kind....

    So much anger

    catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I filed the P tests under unreimbursed medical expenses, because well it's medical and not reimbursed. Segueing back to the topic of anger inducing antics (sort of) I used to see where we could access...

    So much anger

    catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I, personally have been able deduct dang near entirely what I've spent on this charade but that is only because I've had other significant medical expenses in most years that got me to that threshold,...

    Anyone Know About Getting a Law Degree?

    catsmeow1972 replied to mimifromtx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The bit with the monitoring contracts comes down to simple contract law. These things are written just ambiguous enough, that the monitoring agencies can get away with pretty much anything they want...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Guilty until proven innocent strikes again. And it's entirely possible that the price of proving your innocence can be in the 4 figure

    Have I proceeded correctly?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've always wondered why they do a split specimen if they have to be prompted to do anything with the second one. What is that second one for anyway? Also from what you were saying about 'it not...

    Have I proceeded correctly?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think you've done what you can do. I honestly wonder what it is with these people when this sort of thing happens and they seem to think that there is something wrong with the person for being...

    Done

    Got to get that last drop squeezed out of you....of pee or money, your choice. Congratulations....makes that little light at the end of the tunnel a tad brighter for all of

    So much anger

    catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What I am creating in my mind I think would be a position that is restricted to assisting participants in getting thier foot in the door. Rather than leaving said participant to file 100 applications...

    So much anger

    catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I suppose that a means of introductions would be what I am thinking. We are all professionals. We're nurses. We're college educated professionals. We know how to write resumes and we know to not pick...

    So much anger

    catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That lack of real help, I think contribute to the anger also. These things have degraded into a method of punishment. Persephone is right. Even prisoners get help upon parole. I have little (okay, no)...

    So much anger

    catsmeow1972 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hppy's got a lot of really good points. From my observations as one who was sucked into this over mental health issues, many folks frustrations come not from being required to be in a program but that...

    Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    catsmeow1972 replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Why would they give a heads up. These things function in a culture of fear, noninformation and innuendo. In short, they aren't going to say a darn thing that's going to commit them to precedence being...

    Types of questions...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Heh. I came on the scene, post mental health crisis, with a fresh bipolar diagnosis, self reported to the program because I did something dumb that the BON would have found out about eventually but I...

    Clinging To Hope

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I rest my case about HR sometimes being clueless idiots who are not even nurses. Clueless because why on earth would you apply for a nursing position without a valid license and an idiot for, in my...

    Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    catsmeow1972 replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    :confused:I actually looked it up. Apparently the poppy seeds filter out of the urine in 12-24 hours. So I guess we can have them on

    Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    catsmeow1972 replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Out of pure laziness, I utilize this grocery delivery service occasionally. I point and click online, someone picks up the order, shops it and brings it to me. They can either text me if they have...

    Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    catsmeow1972 replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is the kind of stuff that freaks me out. My standard morning breakfast is a toasted bagel and 2 cups of coffee. I can't even choose an "everything" bagel?? I'm sorry, but controlling the flavor...

    Clinging To Hope

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think many of us hear parts of ourselves in you. So you are not alone in how you feel. There have been days (and even though I am not working by choice) when I wonder why I don't just tell the whole...

    Isolating, Obsessing, Life on hold

    catsmeow1972 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am reasonably certain that real healthcare professionals, at least ones with ethics know that this stuff does not work worth cow pies. Like I've said before, there is a certain sector that this kind...
