  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...

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

    peachfuzz replied to SororAKS's topic in Nurses 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...

  4. This is CRAZY

    peachfuzz posted a topic in Nurses 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...

  5. This is CRAZY

    peachfuzz replied to peachfuzz's topic in Nurses 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...

  6. This is CRAZY

    peachfuzz replied to peachfuzz's topic in Nurses 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"

    Similar thing happend to me while on TPAPN for narcotics. I am heavily into weight lifting. I started taking a supplement from GNC called DHEA. I tried the liquid form. Couple of drops under my...

  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...

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

    peachfuzz replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nurses 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...

  10. TPAPN and Tx BON

    peachfuzz replied to TxDogMom's topic in Nurses 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...

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

  12. Disappointment

    peachfuzz replied to Lostie1977's topic in Nurses 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...

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

    peachfuzz replied to whodatme's topic in Nurses 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...

  14. Nurses are people too

    peachfuzz posted a topic in Nurses 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...

  15. Interviewing Advice

    peachfuzz replied to LPNSWEETHEART's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my experience I have always been upfront almost immediately upon meeting interviewer. Something like "I want/need to share something about myself with you. I have been in recovery since.....for...

  16. Terminated after two months and in need of help please!

    peachfuzz replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    First of all calm down. It sounds like you were put in a position you were not prepared for. You were a Charge Nurse with less than a year of experience? That is insane. Most companies have a policy...

    peachfuzz replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery
