2. Can a nurse lose license for hospitalization due to mental illness

   peachfuzz replied to flava66's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely not! My board asks a similar question, but it specifies schizophrenia and similar diagnosis. Did you lose touch with reality or become a threat to anyone? If not, then it is none of their freaking business about your depression. EVERYONE h...

3. If you could recommend changes, what would you suggest?

   peachfuzz replied to SororAKS's topic in Recovery

   I have this fantasy of digging up the dirtiest of dirt of every member of the Texas Board of Nursing investigative and monitoring division and then plaster the results on the biggest freaking billboard next to their name and face after I do a mass ma...

4. This is CRAZY

   peachfuzz replied to peachfuzz's topic in Recovery

   They aren't getting rid of me they are trying to transfer me to a clinic about an hour away where they have RN's with more experience. It doesn't take a RN with 2ys exp to recognize a impaired individual. I am grateful they are trying to help me kee...

5. This is CRAZY

   peachfuzz replied to peachfuzz's topic in Recovery

   Yes there are managers in the clinic. We open at 5am but management does not get there until 8ish. That leaves 3hs that I work with a nurse with 18mos experience and a LVN. LVN's can't "monitor" me.

7. This is CRAZY

   peachfuzz posted a topic in Recovery

   I am 1yr into my 3yr sentence. My boss hired me knowing my restrictions. Everything has been cool since October. Some of the experienced nursing staff have been let go by my boss. Now I work along side nurses with less than 20 months experience. My b...

8. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

   peachfuzz replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

   Cheers to you!!! Could not have said it better myself. I also notice that certain specialties of nursing have to qualify themselves. How many times have you heard " I have been a ICU or ER nurse for x amount of years." NOBODY cares but yourself!!! I...

9. Why can't we get a days notice before drug test day?

   peachfuzz replied to RNdynamic's topic in Recovery

   Is it just Texas or do other states focus more on who has been disciplined for what in their quarterly mailings than they do on education, updates or employment? Seriously I don't care who has been a freaking nurse imposter or who has been discipline...

10. TPAPN and Tx BON

    peachfuzz replied to TxDogMom's topic in Recovery

    Been there done that...yes you can still work after TPAPN closes your case and refers you to the board. Your contract is over with them. You will, at some point, receive a letter from the BON stating you are under investigation for violating your TPA...

11. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

12. Disappointment

    peachfuzz replied to Lostie1977's topic in Recovery

    I suggest you try Davita, Renal Ventures, US Renal or a psychiatric hospital. Where are you located and do you have dialysis experience? If yes, then you know the challenges of dialysis. If no, then express your ability to work in a very fast paced, ...

13. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    peachfuzz replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    Try to relax. What's done is done. Focus on moving forward. I too am a addict and have been through this several times. The last time TPAPN fired me and my license was suspended for a year. I am now working again and have been clean for 2+ years. The...

14. Was It Worth It?

    peachfuzz replied to RainaLuzon's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and no. I enjoy taking care of patients and making a difference in peoples lives and that is where it stops. Working with most women sucks. Complaining, nagging, jealous, back stabbing, moody, 2 faced women is what makes it miserable for me. To ...

15. Nurses are people too

    peachfuzz posted a topic in Recovery

    I have been in recovery for many years and have made some observations. I attend a nurse recovery group and a group where I am the only nurse and the rest are physicians. There are many physician support groups in my area but only one nurse group and...
