  2. Colleague asked me for a Tylenol from my med cart. What to do?

    StillRN replied to FromMNtoCA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One thing I will mention, that I forgot to say before, is that I appreciate the OP for asking for guidance with this issue. My rant was more in line with those who DO run and tell without seeking...

  3. Positive pre-employment drug screen! What will happen?

    StillRN replied to Pmb's topic in General Nursing

    My last pre-employment test showed a positive for amphetamines as well. They did it on the spot, in front of me. Turns out the Zoloft I was on causes false positives for amphetamines. They sent it off...

  4. Colleague asked me for a Tylenol from my med cart. What to do?

    StillRN replied to FromMNtoCA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is exactly what I meant- I was just too tired to type it all!!! But that’s why I put the question mark after “Tell on her”. Not sure if you were thinking I was saying to tell on her. I...

    “I feel like nursing is becoming a police state and we give up all our rights to privacy just to have a job. “ YES!!!!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT’S BECOME!!!!!!! Makes me

  6. Resign first or wait until I find out if I'm fired?

    StillRN replied to FallingInPlace's topic in General Nursing

    I’m glad you decided to move on. The fact that they pulled HR into a ‘verbal reprimand ‘ meeting means they are making sure all of their ducks are in a row to fire you. Otherwise it would have...

  8. probation monitor changed... twice

    StillRN replied to ericninetwo's topic in Nurses Recovery

  9. Felony charges

    StillRN replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My state requires you tell them within either 24 or 48 hours.. I forget which one. But they hold it against you if you don't tell them right

  10. Unemployment compensation

    StillRN replied to maestro62's topic in Nurses Recovery

  12. Half-way through narcotic restrictionsOk

    StillRN replied to Scared-RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've forgotten twice in almost 3 years.. both times I was sick. First time about a month in, 2nd time was this year about a week after I had just spent a week in the hospital for sepsis. My boss sent...

  13. Indiana monitoring

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

    I wish being tested 2 times in 6 days was A LOT for me. I've been tested 5 times in the last 2 weeks!!! Monday, Thursday, then Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I fully expect to get slammed again...

  14. Who uses Labcorp/FirstSource Solutions?

    StillRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    The lab is in Pennsylvania. I'm wondering what other people's experiences have been with getting results. I've had at least 2 "Invalid-cancelled" which of course I have no idea why.. from what I've...

  15. Curiosity

    StillRN replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They test for that. A girl in my AODA class got busted for that ( along with my 48 per year with the state, I had to pee once a week for AODA). Something with the creatinine not being in the human...

  17. COC Form

    StillRN replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've had at LEAST 10 tests that came back FLAWED TEST which I believe means something was wrong in the COC and they have to call the testing site to verify something . ( I'm assuming that's what they...

  18. Who uses Labcorp/FirstSource Solutions?

    StillRN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We only get 5 hours to test once we have checked in.. and the latest urgent care we have closed at 7 so we have to be careful what shifts we do too.. no 12 hour day shifts. I can't agree to stay late...

    StillRN replied to Barton82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Welcome! I'm sorry you are going through this, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. But you are not alone! This board is full of Nurses who know very well the fears and anxiety you are going through! a lot...

  20. Possession charges

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

    Try dialysis clinics.. i know of people who had possession charges and are under contract who have been hired. They tend to be desperate for nurses, so just sell yourself at the interview. Tell them...

    StillRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So this happened today... i was running my butt off doing a million things - my morning Med pass took 4-5 hours (ridiculous) as I'm strutting back from contingency to get Lovenox for a newly found DVT...

    StillRN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    StillRN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It also pisses me off I can't drink. I can't wait to have a nice tall, ice cold, tap of miller lite!! It's so hard not too.. because I know how to get away with it.. but it's just not worth the...
