    abnormal urine with IPN

    SororAKS replied to gabby3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If the contract specifically states that you need 6 consecutive negative urines for completion, and does not specify 6 months, is there a possibility they might not extend you? And does the 6...

    Does license surrender automatically result in OIG exclusion list?

    SororAKS replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As far as I know, OIG looks at a surrender in the same light as it does suspensions and revokations. If I were in your shoes I would wait it out and not surrender just yet. J M

    SororAKS replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What I've found with the BON is that they don't change unless WE as nurses demand to be listened to AND we are willing to rattle their cages. Part of the reason most of them are so tyrannical is...

    SororAKS replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You did everything I would have. I suggest you contact your state representative and advise them about this. The BON is not independent. This stinks, is one of the worst examples of overreach I've...

    Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    SororAKS replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It would seem to be a nonstarter for the hospital. Specimen numbers that don't match the COC? The Board should not try and hang this one on you, not at all. What did they
