  1. Isolating, Obsessing, Life on hold

    StillRN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can completely relate!!! This program is all I EVER think and obsess about. I also RE-check in up to 10 times a day... just to be sure. I obsessively check for my results every time I test until...

  2. ISNAP DRUG TESTS

    StillRN replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So you tested Wednesday and then forgot to check- in Thursday? But you were not selected Thursday??? If you just missed a check-in on a day you weren't chosen, just email your monitor and explain what...

  3. ISNAP DRUG TESTS

    StillRN replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nope, just started my 3rd year... finished 2 and have 3 left. It's extremely expensive and time

  4. ISNAP DRUG TESTS

    StillRN replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    16 per year?? Wow!!!! This is my 3rd year of 48/yr!!! It makes me

  5. ISNAP DRUG TESTS

    StillRN replied to Red<nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never had 2 days in a row, but I've had 7 in a 2 week

  6. In TPAPN and currently in IOP. Tested pos in IOP...do I need to tell my CM?

    StillRN replied to JustBreatheRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is it possible to just ask you IOP counselor if there is anything you can do to prevent her from turning you in? My AODA counselor (my old one) turned me in for admitting I had taken a blood pressure...

  7. Possession charges

    StillRN replied to sarahellie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If your license isn't suspended yet, you can try to find a

  8. What changed?

    StillRN replied to markko's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I use that lab too. I take clonazepam, but only sometimes test positive confirmed. Mostly negatives. I don't think they even know your prescriptions at the lab. I know they just result mine and my...

  9. Tnpap questions

    StillRN replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes and you will be in monitoring for 3-5 years. The only difference is tnpap will be confidential and it won't leave a mark on your license once you finish it. I really think you should talk to a...

  10. Tnpap questions

    StillRN replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's very very unlikely you won't get a narc restriction . If you can't fight it, take the tnpap and save a permanent mark on your license. The contracts are usually pretty similar

  11. Advice ASAP!

    StillRN replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think you should talk to a lawyer. The way they made it sound was more like a peace offering than a demand -or else report you-. Did they ask your husband to take a test too? Get a hair test done...

  12. Getting charged in multiple states?

    StillRN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Everyone I know in monitoring hell wants out of nursing! But we are basically stuck! We, unknowingly, chose a profession that would end up controlling and even destroying our lives!! I'm not even...

  13. Here's a new one I've not considered until today...

    StillRN replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had a counselor (AODA) swear cbd oil would never show up positive because it doesn't have thc in it.. several of us argued but she swore to it. I still wouldn't risk it. But I could sure use it for...

  14. Advice ASAP!

    StillRN replied to Paigeperfect's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Personally, I think the reason you refused matters a great deal! If you were diverting at work and they have proof, then your refusal says guilty automatically and it's doubtful an attorney will be...

  15. Does anyone take clonazepam?

    StillRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know some of you can't take these kinds of medications, which in my humble opinion is just plain wrong. Not that it works all that well (after 5 years of being in it) but my anxiety is so bad I...

  16. Option 4

    StillRN replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I get along well with the ones i pay 49$ , they have seen me for tests as well as physical therapy (months and months of it) as well as post surgery. They are Super cool the other ones are by the...

  17. Option 4

    StillRN replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My option 1 is 39$ and option 2 is 42. The coloction fee is 49$ at the urgent care I got to (because they have longer hours). The other collection site is 25$ but the close at 1330. It's harder to...

  18. Option 4

    StillRN replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't believe they gave you a list of what the tests are for! They won't tell us anything! I use Firstlab or Firstsource or labcorp.. I really don't know cuz I see all 3 of these names on my COC. We...

  19. Does anyone take clonazepam?

    StillRN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    meriwhen, I'm curious.. since you have been on it long term As well, do you feel that it's not as effective anymore? Like you've built up a tolerance? I feel that

  20. Does anyone take clonazepam?

    StillRN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We are able to take anything that is prescribed and it's prescribed so I'm good that way. It's just weird how it only sometimes comes up positive. Of course every time it does, I freak out that it...

  21. TPAPN Quarterly reports changed?

    StillRN replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That sounds like a nice thing to have. Other than being involved in meetings with your manager.. I wouldn't like that at all. It just puts the spotlight on you even more. I don't want my managers even...

  22. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    StillRN replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Those self reports are a joke! They ask for your sponsors first and last name. What happened to confidentiality?! I never put it down. And this crap about what are you doing in your leisure time and...

  23. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    StillRN replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Usually it takes longer (for pee anyway- with my lab) for positives or invalid/flawed screens. I just went through 2 weeks off pure hell waiting for a result . I had to email a copy of my COC to my...

  24. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    StillRN replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was on Cipro for a UTI and it popped positive for Amphetamines/methamphetamines for a pre employment screen. It was also positive for benzo's. They sent it out for confirmation. Everything was...

  25. New to Recovery program and not good news

    StillRN replied to Beazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow!! Just wow! Now we can't even trust being honest with our Doctors. I already realized long ago I couldn't trust my AODA Counselors.. I was turned in for something really stupid I said in group.....
