Some states have passed rules that eliminate disciplinary action after a certain number of years; But in Florida that record remains, "protecting the public" even after we're dead. Our ancestors can look it up. But Joe Felony got his record expunged...

Yeah, my finish was very anticlimactic. A phone call from the b**** case manager and an emailed generic form letter followed by a hard copy. Mine made us do a silly 'exit interview.’ Basically a series of canned questions I which we supposed to tell ...

Hi all, I have not been on this site in quite some time as my 'sentence' in IPN ended a bit over 4 years ago. I chose to pull back from being here so often as I thought it important to get on with my life and not wallow in the unfairness and abuse I ...

Read in its entirety: A Call for Rational Reform of IPN and PRN Laws and Regulations I couldn't get this to post as an article, so here is the link. It is from late 2021 but clearly, someone has noticed that there are issues (nay, an entire su...

I dunno, the crime syndicate that is the Florida program started doing Peth testing on a regular basis because ‘it was an additional tool to assist us in our recovery’ or some such BS. Rather hilarious (I can say that as I’ve been out of their clutch...

Being stuck in that BS supposed rehab ( I self reported over a mental health crisis… how drug rehab was supposed to be any use whatsoever is beyond me). I was so clueless that I didn’t even realize the place was even a rehab until I’d been there a fe...

Yes! Get an attorney. The expense of having a relationship with a good one. If we are talking Florida, there 2 big firms that specialize in this stuff. TOS says I can't name them but I had one on the back burner for a large part of my contract. My re...

Granted I’ve been out of IPN for almost 3 glorious years but in my seemingly never ending time there, I managed to never have a dilute pee. How, you ask? Well I did the stupid checkin at 4am on the dot. Nothing will make you a morning person like wak...

Absolutely. Staying until your relief gets in does not constitute an extra shift. Considering that I am pretty sure the clowns that run this show have not been anywhere near an actual patient in a coon’s age, they have zero idea (or more accurately d...

No, IPN does not get any copies of your time card. These people lead you to be paranoid enough that you would think they did. Unless things have changed, the only thing they get is the little quarterly report where your designated supervisor checks w...

Oh yes, a scam to the Nth power. I am 2 years past getting out of the claws of those crooks and still have issues. Discipline that never should have been made public yet was. A suspension that never should have happened but did because those yokels c...

Florida is another state that makes stuff public and even after you make to the other side of your sentence, it never goes away. Confidential, my arse. Also common is shoddy, half *** paperwork and documentation. Even though I self reported (back ...

Not quite 2 years into my contract, I got pulled out of the In-person support group and dropped into an online thing they were ‘trialing’. It was fine by me as it seemed to be the singular acknowledgment from those people that I had mental health iss...

I’ts been nearly 2 years since I’ve been out of the clutches of those horrible people. Because I was fortunate enough to be able to move (had to multiple times during that joke of a contract because I had to go where I could find work), about 6 month...

My experience gave me a great case of PTSD that I didn’t have before. I’m one of those with mental health diagnosis yet was dumped into a program that for some baffling reason thought 6 months of drug rehab was the answer. The time I spent there, the...

The most satisfying ‘thunk’ ever was me dropping all that garbage into the trash can. I had dragged those two file boxes through several moves as I had to go where I could find employment (that’s what happens when your only nursing experience is high...

Back when (blessedly a few years now) I had an elective procedure. I had lost a large amount of weight, had an issue of excess skin. Since I wasn’t working at the time (I had given up fighting those idiots to get/keep the *** jobs that were only what...

I was not in PNAP but rather IPN, which is Florida’s program. They are all scrapped from the same pile of poo though. The best source for you would be ‘SpankedinPittsburgh’. He’s out now but was a PNAP victim. I think he’d be able to give you more in...

That is such BS. IMO, that sounds like someone looked at those documents and thought “oooohhh, we can trap another person into puking up money to justify our (for a large share of our victims) useless extortion scheme. Of course failing to comprehend...

For the majority of my contract I claimed the tests as an I reimbursed medical expense. For much of that time I actually had a low enough income (SSDI and crummy near minimum wage jobs) and/or enough medical expenses that I paid cash for that I made ...

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 things are about ‘ensuring/ proving that a person is saf...

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 into my eval. If I wasn’t so familiar with these peop...

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 BSing AND my idiot CM, when I asked what I needed to ...

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 reason, have enough to deal with. Those of us that fo...

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 don’t see why not. If every med (pain meds, benzodiazepi...
