    SororAKS replied to Jnorth RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When you fill out your paperwork, do it completely and follow the instructions to the letter. Initial everything even if it doesn't apply to you. Get it in well before the 90 day deadline. I know this...

    What was it like to be a nurse in the 1980s

    SororAKS replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in 1988. To my knowledge, nurses didn't wear caps or white uniforms. Myself and most of the nurses I knew questioned doctors and spoke up. In many ways, from what i can see, many things...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    SororAKS replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd think very carefully before risking a license to practice nursing. Even in a state where recreational use is legal, until it is legal to use it recreationally at the Federal level I'd abstain. All...

    Yes I am presently filling my own paperwork out for removal from that same list. My criminal convictions all happened before I was placed on the list. If your license was reinstated, be sure the...

    "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    SororAKS replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it has as much to do with grades as it does the individual. I get suspicious with generalizations, and tend to not take them

    PA DUI, what to expect?

    SororAKS replied to Whats next's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Q4 2015 means the last three months of 2015 and the tests I took in those months. I had a "dilute" urine which had a low Creatinine level. They don't like those because it can indicate the participant...

    SororAKS replied to skinnedknee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If it is specified, then I would prepare to do it or supply it. You could try IOP- Intensive Outpatient treatment. I had to do a lot of after the fact stuff too when I sought unsuspension in my state,...

    SororAKS replied to skinnedknee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What did they specify? Have you been ordered to have a substance abuse evaluation? Thats usually the first step. This generally determines which treatment modality

    Suspended license in Michigan

    SororAKS replied to skinnedknee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Its worth a try, but don't be too surprised if they do tell you that treatment is required. I also might consider an attorney specialized in Professional Licensure matters before the

    Suspended license in Michigan

    SororAKS replied to skinnedknee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I know about Michigan, yes. They tend to go by the rules. I am curious, though, about one thing: If you were in their program before, even if you eventually dropped out, didn't you go...

    Millionth Time: Yes on app - IN

    SororAKS replied to Dreamed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would interpret this as if one is having issues currently with substance abuse and it is untreated. Your substance abuse has been successfully treated and you have clean time. Operative word, to me,...

    This is the question that is asked on IN licensure by examination application: 6. Do you have any condition or impairment (including a history of alcohol or substance abuse) that currently interferes,...

    Millionth Time: Yes on app - IN

    SororAKS replied to Dreamed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only problem I see with this is if they run an INSPECT report on you that will show the MMT and any other prescriptions. I'm not sure if they run INSPECT reports on all applicants for licensure or...

    Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    SororAKS replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Which is unfortunate. I too have looked at some nurses askance at the divisiveness. We should be looking at inclusiveness, not shunning, of those in

    Before you judge the addicted nurse.....

    SororAKS replied to michirn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I never thought I'd become an addict either, but I did. I never thought I'd do a lot of things, but I did. Some take benzodiazepines and don't become addicted. I did. I don't recall waking up one day...

    Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    SororAKS replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have always worn white lab coats. I like the extra room in the pockets where I can realistically keep things without them spilling out like they have while wearing a scrub warmup. Regarding...
