  4. Evaluation scaries

    StillRN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I used EAP the day after I got fired so it was free for me. Of course the money I've spent on 48 drug tests/yr and AODA 4 times a month for the past 2 years has more than made up for my "free

  7. Just a small venting session

    StillRN replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Spanked, I'm so happy for you! What a relief, huh?! Does that mean you just got your narc key, or have you always had it? ( meaning you don't have to petition during you "golden time" (once a year) to...

  8. Just a small venting session

    StillRN replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would keep bugging them...."Any updates yet?" the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The reason it takes so long is they likely havent even dealt with it yet. I had to wait over a week for a job...

    StillRN replied to olchrustyone's topic in Nurses Recovery

  11. Pain in my butt!

    StillRN replied to rnet's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't see how the BON can tell you to stop taking a medication that a DOCTOR prescribed!! Even judges allow those charged of drug possession to take narcs that are prescribed! That just doesn't even...

  12. NICU specific questions to ask the interviewer.

    StillRN replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The NICU can be very boring, especially with hands off kids.. but it can also be crazy busy and stressful! I worked in a NICU once that had 2 sets of triplets deliver at the same time.. thats 6...

  14. Has anyone ever tested positive while having a UTI?

    StillRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know I have one, possibly kidney infection. I have read it can cause false positives and levaquin almost always causes false positive for opiates. I still have a test pending which usually means...

  15. Suspended Licence

    StillRN replied to PRN4U's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was under the impression if your sample tested positive for something naughty.. the MRO would call you. That is because my friend once ate 2 poppy seed bagels and tested positive for morphine. The...

    Same here. The other day I bought some frozen pepperjack mozz sticks from the grocery store.. i was so excited... when i started eating them I thought I smelled and tasted something I havent had the...

  17. Has anyone ever tested positive while having a UTI?

    StillRN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well my test was negative, but it took a while, so im assuming they confirmed it. My urine culture was positive for Salmonella. The health department even called me to ask me a ton of questions. No...

  18. Has anyone ever tested positive while having a UTI?

    StillRN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Great.. it was an option 1. Will they be able to confirm on that sample or require blood? It's already been almost a week. Blood would be stupid at this

  19. Seriously?! Grrrr.

    StillRN replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Be grateful you can check at midnight and have to entire day to test. We have to time our check-in's very carefully as we only get 5 hours from the minute of check-in to test and most places are only...

    StillRN replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

  23. So much for "step down year" in TPAPN!

    StillRN replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in Wisconsin. And Yes it is ridiculously expensive. They just raised the test rate to 49 dollars and the lab fee is dependent on which option. option 1 is 39 and 2 is 42 i think. I havent been...

  24. Any info on suspension?

    StillRN replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery
