Good grief...I came up Positive

SororAKS posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I was checking my results on affinity and my last test result is positive for alcohol. The problem is, I didn't drink. The only thing I can think might have caused it was...
Not sure where I'm going

SororAKS posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

I'm applying for reinstatement very soon, and am very grateful for the opportunity. I never believed until recently that I'd have this opportunity, or that I'd even want to have it. Here I am! Yea! My...
If you could recommend changes, what would you suggest?

SororAKS posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

If you were in a position to recommend changes in the manner in which regulatory agencies deal with issues like substance abuse/mental health issues, what would you recommend? Do you think the...

Call your caseworker. Is it a permanent full time spot or is that limited to

Messed up

SororAKS replied to Tlynn17's topic in Nurses Recovery

Call your caseworker and be honest about what you did. That will be much better than them finding positive test results and having to ask you. Honestly assess what happened, get back to a program, and...
New to IPN

SororAKS replied to Invincible summer's topic in Nurses Recovery

I'd both self report and retain an attorney experienced in dealing with the Board of Nursing. I'll be the first to agree with you on some of the rules and requirements, but it is better if you just do...
Bad messed up

SororAKS replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

I would get a lawyer, even a public defender, for your criminal case. See if you can retain a different lawyer with experience dealing with the Board. If you self report to the program in your state,...
Caught diverting methadone.

SororAKS replied to Nursemel05's topic in Nurses Recovery

Get a lawyer pronto, one that has experience dealing with the FL Board of Nursing and IPN. Lawyer up, do not admit to anything. Talk with your doctor, get an evaluation, and start attending meetings...
Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

SororAKS replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

This incident disgusted me. I've never seen police have such disrespect for medical professionals. She advocated for her patient and followed policy, most police officers I've worked with are very...
Unfair, unfair, unfair

SororAKS replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

What I do agree with here is the need for lobbying one's representatives and speaking out. Unfortunately as a profession we have not done this nearly enough, and that factor has contributed in the out...

An Eclectic Recovery Thread

SororAKS replied to Davey Do's topic in Nurses Recovery

Thanks for posting this. I go through these spells on occasion. One thing that helps me is the knowledge that it will pass, and in the meantime, I just try to keep up some daily practice of meditation...
Need some encouragement/advice

SororAKS replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

I'd quit the second job. Our stress responses were masked with active addiction, and when we stop using our emotions aren't masked anymore. One thing I've learned throughout all this is to pay...

Ohio Board, Kentucky Board

SororAKS replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

You might try calling KY BON and ask them. In my experience, most Boards of Nursing are hesitant to issue a license unless Probation is completed in the previous
Throwing in the towel, and feeling liberated

SororAKS replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

I have mixed feelings as I read this. I am glad that you listened to your heart and that you realize you have options other than nursing. A perceived lack of options keeps some people stuck. On the...

SororAKS replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

You should definitely be able to practice your faith without thoughts of IPN! File for early release.
Do you have plans for after?

SororAKS replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

The little things matter. For me, I had to fight the program to find out what really happened with the allegedly positive urine alcohol and allegedly positive EtG (which suddenly turned out to be...
