    Falsely accused of diversion

    catsmeow1972 replied to Kabhold's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Absolutely. These things do not go quick and non nurse have no idea that no matter how flimsy the case, it can be career wrecking. People have gotten stuck in the power and money sucking vortex of...

    Im in HPRP in Michigan. Can the BON still take away my license

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There's nothing really to sue about. I'm closer to the end of this than to the beginning. The fine has long since been paid (and deducted on taxes by my accountant). These people are stupid and lazy...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't wait for that long hot bath, when I can choose my own rubber ducky and my own brand of bubble bath. 579 days and

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd fall outta my chair too. For starters, would that not violate the anonymity that is preached so loudly about ( yes, thank you captain obvious) but like a work reference, it would really be useless...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Besides the fact that I agree with you in that my attendance is an ongoing disrespect to those who chose to be there (you're right, they seem like nice folk, I don't hang around long enough to find...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sounds like your therapist is truly one of the 12 step robots hook line and sinker. I thoroughly disagree with the premise of the 12 step thing, but I respect that people have found, in it tools for...

    Hair follicle

    catsmeow1972 replied to kayla.welch88's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So they were dangling IM Narcan at you in return for what? It seems a bit unethical (hah, imagine that, no, not possible.) to be even marketing it to a client/patient/inmate who is there for alcohol....

    Im in HPRP in Michigan. Can the BON still take away my license

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My advice, for what it's worth.....talk to the lawyers, BEFORE you sign that contract or speak further with HPRP. Should you choose to retain them, they will deal with HPRP directly. There is a reason...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not so much at hate as I am disgusted and sad. I am not angry at the BON because "they" , at least in my state are outside the operations of this thing. I am disgusted at the profits that are made...

    1 month to go...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Izzy RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, Congrats on being so close to the end. I must say I am jealous. My sentence is 5 years. I also had the 12 month work requirement which I have way more than satisfied. I have 585 days to go. I...

    Falsely accused of diversion

    catsmeow1972 replied to Kabhold's topic in Nurses Recovery

    But, but, but....there's way more $$ to be made in calling you to P periodically rather than just every 3 months. Besides, I don't think hair shows ETG. I'm not

    Im in HPRP in Michigan. Can the BON still take away my license

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    X2 on NSKaren's advice. That class action lawsuit is against HPRP, not the BON. You will be dealing with the BON if/when this goes any

    RMA or Affinity, what trumps what?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah. I tend to scoff at the 12 step stuff because I am very much not a fan of it and I should really hush my mouth about it because it has helped many people. I just think the idea of forced...

    RMA or Affinity, what trumps what?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would go by the letter of your contract. Affinity is a stupid program that is sold to (and/or owned by someone closely related to) programs all over the country. I would think that When it comes...

    Im in HPRP in Michigan. Can the BON still take away my license

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's the thing. You need to ensure that the board leaves you the heck alone because you are already in HPRP. HPRP has no interest in telling them for you. If you get ANY paperwork from the board you...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Spanked: Do you get the impression that there is some kind of Trump University thing out there that "teaches" how to make money in the form of running a scam and calling it "treatment?" With an...

    Im in HPRP in Michigan. Can the BON still take away my license

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In theory, self reporting is supposed to give you some modicum of confidentiality and protection from the board so long as you are in HPRP and stay totally compliant. In your state in particular,...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I struggled to complete my BSN while IN that inappropriate stay in that ******** of a rehab AKA overpriced daily carpool to AA meeting. It seems that while they were illegally speaking to family about...

    List the most frivolous complaints you've received

    catsmeow1972 replied to gardenpartyy's topic in Private Duty

    Sounds like they didn't need a nurse, they wanted a servant/slave. The one private duty gig I had was not quite that bad. The patient was an adult male with a TBI/SCI and his mother would helicopter...

    Recovery Trek

    catsmeow1972 replied to Carriesmith91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Whatever state you are in (get it in writing) has said all you need is a refresher course (sensible) and a year in a program, go for it. That's reasonable. I don't think an attorney could get you a...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Txnurse4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's how it should be but I think I've seen occasions (had I the time to look, I believe there are incidences noted here) where this has happened. There's a lot about these things that seem to...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Txnurse4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just out of curiosity, I wonder how it works with compact states. I know Florida is entering the compact state thing and one of the requirements for a compact state license is to not CURRENTLY be...

    ER visit paper work for TPAPN

    catsmeow1972 replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Usually you are given paper that say what medicines you were given. I would send them that plus a copy of whatever Rx they gave

    catsmeow1972 replied to Txnurse4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I understand, Texas is one of the more Draconian states. I am however jealous that there is some alternate for those who basically did something dumb in thier past but are not addicts. With...

    New to monitoring land

    catsmeow1972 replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ‘‘tis be very true. I think (don't hold me to this one) is that at some point there was some kefluffle about just how low the cut off levels were and that they were raised because all...
