Hi NurseyPoo: Once a year or so I get an update in my SPAM folder from Allnurses and I usually just ignore it. I just read your post and felt compelled to reply. I think you may be able to access my journey in the past posts archive...we all hav...

Hi All: Wherever your are in your journey, move forward a little each day. You can do it. The great news is that I officially finished a 2 year probation in Oregon and now hold an unencumbered license here. At the time of arrest for DUI (100% dism...

Hi brave lovely nurses: You already know my story....cuz it is so much like yours! OK so 4 weeks later I am now in Hawaii. So don't feel too sorry for me. Finished probation in OR, hold unencumbered license there and applied for endorsement to HI. ...

Greetings! Have reached out a lot lately. Thank God I found this site. For 2 + years I have suffered alone (except for my recovery people, but they are not nurses). If you read my topic of a few days ago I decided to voluntarily surrender a CA li...

...am DONE! ...AND YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!! My Probation Monitor gave me a gift of 1.5 months off early in OR! I thank you all for your support from the bottom of my heart... Bitter sweet as CA (where I had an expired license in good standing at the ti...

Thank you all for your good wishes. Blessings to you too. Let's see what my contract looks like!? I will let you know... (((((HUGS))))) Paid

You are my mentor Soror. Deep gratitude for you and congratulations to you... Paid

Greetings brave friends: So, after working hard to successfully complete probation in OR and gain my fully restored RN license I applied for state-to-state endorsement in HI. To my shock it was denied. Reason: I was simultaneously licensed in good...

What a toxic nightmare. Another venerable poster here has been sent down the rabbit hole with the IN BON. Soooooooo glad you have your good job at the VA with benefits. Yeah, right?! How are you supposed to fulfill probationary practice AND work ...

Oh yes I have checked...exponet iona llc more expensive, even when one is finished wire probation, unencumbered or fully reinstated. We remain a liability forever...never fully forgiven... í ½í¸§

No, never do I let my guard down. Whether being sniped by toxic, crazy fellow staff members / managers or attacked verbally by a patient or cray cray family member...just last night I was a sitter for an impulsive, little old man demented patient. ...

Your are on a roll sweetheart. After all the healing you have done, the shame and anger will be muchly processed. In hindsight I realize now that I had to work thru these painful things while I was working full time and fulfilling my strict board r...

Hi: I finished my probation in June. I think that if you have experience in case management, you could get a job, but frankly I realized the tough fact that I needed to scrape to get a job. ANY JOB... My strategy was to apply in person to the DON at...

I got to the point where I just knew intuitively what to avoid. My monitoring program did not give me any lists of substances to stay away from. I avoided hand sanitizer, hairspray, poppy seeds et al. You will be ok honey...all we can do is move f...

OFSMIT: How are you doing since your original post? We care about YOU! Paid

Soror: so often you speak so well for all of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for quietly continuing your journey. We are with you sister. You have helped me Sooooooooo much..... (((((hugs))))) Paid

Yes friends it was a gradual realization for me that, after finishing probation in my home state and my license is unencumbered, I will not necessarily receive my unencumbered license in another. I have decided that if HI wants me to serve more prob...

YES RN2364: In CA this is true. They make you do it all over again. Expensive. Endless punishment. Stay away from CA and TX. Love and (((((hugs)))))

Honey, one can make good money and still be ethical. Geeeez, I would need triple-pay to live and work way up in Yellowknife! You sound like a busy-body. By the way, love your quote: "A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the worl...

Bullying in nursing is a patient safety issue. Get the he** outa there and find a job in a nice smaller hospital ED where you know you can thrive. Leave the fancy-shmancy Level 1 trauma to the reptiles in the snake-pit. Go live your life and find ...

YES! Two states I held a license in when I got charged with a DUI gave me discipline (I subsequently surrendered in both.) My state of residence where I was charged with the DUI (never convicted now dismissed under a first offender program) gave me...

Honey leave the unit and/or the hospital. No job is worth the damage to your physical and mental health. Find something that works for YOU.....

Will you mentor me Amber? A lot of us don't take no krap no more because there are enough studies to prove that it is unsafe! Good girl!

No. Go and live your life. Family comes first. Pay the money back on time and leave with 2-3 weeks notice in good standing. Life trumps a nursing job. Fly little birdie fly...

My dear one: Life is too short, even at your age, to let a job make you sick emotionally and physically and to suck your spirit dry. What you are experiencing can cause PTSD. As a new grad perhaps a good med/surg unit might be more appropriate. Sor...
