  1. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Recovering_RN replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are doing exactly what you need to be doing, getting information and figuring out your options. It affects more than just her, it's you and your family too, so ignore the negative comments. You're...

  2. Need advice

    Recovering_RN replied to Singlemomrn95's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Pittsburgh, the problem here is that the hubby is not lying. She will test positive on a hair test unless she can get the test delayed another couple of weeks. At least that's the theory she is going...

  3. Need advice

    Recovering_RN replied to Singlemomrn95's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I have been told, yes it will show up on your license if it goes to the Board. Even if all they do is send you back to TPAPN. I went straight to TPAPN, so I don't have personal experience...

  4. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Recovering_RN replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was off for 5 months. That included 2 weeks just waiting for the call confirming I'd been fired after I got sent home. Then another 3 months of IOP. I didn't have to do inpatient but my IOP was 4...

  5. Help my wife got caught diverting

    Recovering_RN replied to got_nurseing73's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You check in every day by calling a phone number or checking online on a website or phone app. That check in will tell you if you have to test that day. You can call in as early as 4 am, as late as 2...

  6. Hello again

    Recovering_RN replied to Wizard 1's topic in Nurses Recovery

  7. Online verification of licensure

    Recovering_RN replied to Bgregory78's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In Texas I go to the Board of nursing website and there is a page for license verification. Just put in your name or license number. It shows type of license (RN), city & state, date issued,...

  8. Tpapn

    Recovering_RN replied to Txnurse4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think a lawyer can do anything for you. The only thing they could do is petition the board for you, the board will NOT just let you go on your merry way. They will either refer you back to...

  9. Longest you’ve gone without having to give pee?

    Recovering_RN replied to stickybun's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Recovering_RN replied to OHRN2011's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in Texas and I was able to do home health as long as they assigned me pts who were not on any narcs. I also had to check in and check out every day with my manager. That had to be in person for...

  11. Life after monitoring

    Recovering_RN replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm 53 and newly (10 months) divorced. When I agreed to the monitoring contract, it was so that I could continue to work as a nurse. Now, after 2 years, I'm just trying to keep plodding along, keeping...

  12. Relationships after addiction

    Recovering_RN replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Recovering_RN replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yep, totally agree with AA becoming the substitute addiction! It's good for them and they enjoy it so that's great for them, but I def see some addictive properties! They even admit it themselves,...

  16. Active RN Status and No direct Patient Care

    Recovering_RN replied to M2185's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What about tele monitor? You just need to know your cardiac rhythms and sit and look at the monitors all day. Call the nurses when you see something

    Recovering_RN replied to VARNhosp88's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know about HPMP, but I'm in TPAPN and they are supposed to decrease the amount of testing in the third year. For me, that seemed like it was happening st first, when I hit the 3 year mark, I...

  20. Watching your social media

    Recovering_RN replied to TKsprivatenurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Interesting. And disturbing. What app was it? Are you sure it's accurate? I've read that certain instructions that are available online to see who's looking at your fb pages aren't actually accurate....

    Recovering_RN replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery
