    COVID-19

    catsmeow1972 replied to IN Pysche Nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I’m am so grateful to be in the position where I am done with these idiots. I honestly don’t know how I would handle the stress of the current events on top of the monitoring nonsense. Y’all...

    PNAP Question

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If these clowns were in touch with reality, they would not be sentencing people to years of nonsense testing, useless and un-necessary "treatment" that costs eye popping amounts of money while...

    COVID 19 and Monitoring Programs

    catsmeow1972 replied to RN0904's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Being the massivly introverted person that I am, I think I’ve been practicing for the social distancing thing my whole life. Years of those meetings were nothing more than an anxiety inducing...

    PNAP Question

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ugh! So they can sit on their orifice and blame this on the current covid upheaval for not doing their job, but boy howdy, you best continue checking in, peeing on command and coughing (no pun...

    COVER LETTERS

    catsmeow1972 replied to ahoceannurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I never even mentioned monitoring until I got to the interview stage. Unusually at the point when I was asked if I had any further questions, I would be “well, there is one thing......” My...

    Referred to IPN. Newbie. Help

    catsmeow1972 replied to sofloRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my experience with Gainesville (TOC says we really ought not be naming specific doctors, etc) the one I saw there is a lying sack of excrement. The things he wrote in my evaluation report were...

    When does it end? I mean really end?

    catsmeow1972 replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Huh. Apparently the person to whom the position was offered, declined it. Probably because the schedule involved could not exactly be described as attractive. It appeals to me because I’ve always...

    PNAP Question

    catsmeow1972 replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh yes, it is getting close. I’ve been thinking about you and wondering when your time was coming and it will not be soon enough, I am

    Missed check in with affinity with selection

    catsmeow1972 replied to Alexis36's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Absolutely an attorney could help. I did not have one in the beginning because I was under the sadly mistaken impression that these idiots were there to help me. By the time I found the only...

    Missed check in with affinity with selection

    catsmeow1972 replied to Alexis36's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Cripes! I am so sorry. My states program stole nearly 6 years of my life and all I did was ask for help. I will never stop being shocked at the ways these things come up with to ruin people and...

    Need advice when to self refer to CA Intervention program

    catsmeow1972 replied to Cloe1980's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get a lawyer! Have that attorney run interference for you with the program. Check TAANA for the name of someone in your state that is versed in these matters. You need to take care of yourself first...

    Missed check in with affinity with selection

    catsmeow1972 replied to Alexis36's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Automatically yanking your license for two years over this seems rather harsh and threatening. I get that a missed check in on a selection date is a bad thing but proceeding immediately to a test,...

    HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    catsmeow1972 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There was a time, many, ....many moons ago when I thought unions weren’t necessary. Y’know, why would you even think of striking, we’re here to take care of others....I was of the thought that...

    What shows up on license after probation?

    catsmeow1972 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mine switched over from ‘obligations/active’ to ‘clear/active’ but down at the bottom there are nice little hot links to ‘administrative complaint’ and ‘link to discipline.’ Those...

    Initial license and substance abuse treatment

    catsmeow1972 replied to BSNCO2019's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It’s February now. It’s 6 months. To be brutally honest...WAIT!!! You do not want to have anything to do with these programs. So you have a history of an issue with alcohol. You have been post...

    HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    catsmeow1972 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, given that you did not admit to anything (like to what? You can’t ‘admit’ to something that you did not do) they can wail to the board all they want but there’s no drug test or anything...

    Attn Florida IPN Nurses

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And it has yet to cease to amaze me of the myriad ways they come up with to bamboozle people into their little scam. I read on here where people are given ‘24 hours to make a decision as to wether...

    Traveling after probation?

    catsmeow1972 replied to Txnurse903's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That being said, anyone ever had any experience with trying to travel with dirt on one’s license. Prison AKA monitoring sentence long since over and license says ‘clear/active’ but the...

    Attn Florida IPN Nurses

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    ^^^^^^This x10000!!! If I had only known that IPN had less than zero interest in helping me and was wayyyy more interested in the contents of my bank account, I would have ran, not walked to a lawyer....

    Taking ibuprofen before a pre employment drug test

    catsmeow1972 replied to Corgifluff's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Honestly, I’d lay off the University of Google School of Pharmacy. Advil PM is a perfectly benign OTC med when being used and dosed properly. The freaking out about ‘false positives’ come from...

    Attn Florida IPN Nurses

    catsmeow1972 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just now thought to update myself on this....I did go to the hearing and got an immediate result from the judge. He approved the ‘closed claim’ so now I wait for the aforementioned chunk of change...

    New Grads with no patient care experience in the O.R

    catsmeow1972 replied to Joanni61's topic in Operating Room

    I started my career (many moons ago) as a surgical tech and transitioned right into the OR. Over the years, I’ve dabbled in a few other things (ER, a post op surgical floor and even a brief (very)...

    Referred to IPN. Newbie. Help

    catsmeow1972 replied to sofloRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, for starters I can say to stay the **** away from Tampa. Unless they have started using other places besides the one that bamboozled me out of more than $30k of hard cash, it’s nothing more...

    catsmeow1972 replied to Jhope41831's topic in Nurses Recovery

    During my time, I developed the habit of doing the check in at 4am on the dot and if I had been summoned, I freaking held it till 6am and was there when the lab opened. Dilute, my a**. Coulda done a...
