  2. Requesting modifications on my restrictions

    RN2364 replied to willow14's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Can I ask what state you are in that has a 5 year natcotic restriction? That's the harshest I have seen. What kind of office job were you able to get. Also congratulations to you and your successful...

  3. Today is a good day. Today is a scary day.

    RN2364 replied to RN2364's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am horrible when it comes to interviews I hate going to them. I have lost many of job that I was qualified for simply over a poor interview. This may have changed my mind. It was by far the best...

    RN2364 replied to dekyrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am having difficulties finding work in Arizona. I have heard that a nurse recovery group (not sure if you are required to attend or not) is a good place for networking and information sharing. It...

  5. Male nursing student and female patient

    RN2364 replied to StudentNurseM1's topic in Men in Nursing

    It shouldn't be an issue because we are all professionals but it is. It's a sad fact of life here in the

  6. Male nursing student and female patient

    RN2364 replied to StudentNurseM1's topic in Men in Nursing

    For a catheter you most certainly do just like a male physician needs a chaperone for pelvic etc. I hope you aren't teaching new male nurses to think this way. If so you are setting them up to lose...

  7. Male nursing student and female patient

    RN2364 replied to StudentNurseM1's topic in Men in Nursing

    First and foremost explain exactly what you will be doing to the patient and or family members. Get permission. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have a female chaperone! There will be times that its ok and times...

  8. CANDO

    RN2364 replied to butterfly2887's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They did mine for free. I think it's govt subsidized. The bad thing is it takes 12 wks at 4 days a week. I couldn't find another place tho. They also do the aftercare which is one day a week. If u r...

  11. Has anyone used Melatonin for sleep?

    RN2364 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was wondering if anyone has taken Melatonin for sleep. If so have you had any problems with it? Will is show up on a UDS as melatonin or be a false positive for anything else. I know they don't...

  12. Why the double standard.

    RN2364 replied to RN2364's topic in Men in Nursing

    First of all I don't disrespect male nurses. I don't think they are "gay" or "perverts" or anything stupid. To me they are colleagues! People who think that way are idiots in my opinion. I do...

  13. If you could recommend changes, what would you suggest?

    RN2364 replied to SororAKS's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think they need to do away with the blanket type punishment. And yes it is punishment! My situation is a little different (or so I think). I am on monitoring bcuz I have an injury and take...

  16. Pre employment drug test in Ohio

    RN2364 replied to Tinaaaa's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not one who usually recommends a lawyer. From what I have seen they are expensive and the BON is going to do what the board is going to do. In your case however I agree with SororAKS to get a...

  17. Substances to avoid

    RN2364 replied to SNB1014's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got a "dilute" specimen the very FIRST time I tested. I had no idea that was even an issue. What happened was when I went to test I was able to provide a specimen but it wasn't quite enough. It was...

  18. Substances to avoid

    RN2364 replied to SNB1014's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have said it before and will again the so her goes. The thing that scares me the most out of the entire monitoring program is FALSE POSITIVES! N/A or A/A meetings, IOP, aftercare, Nurse support...

  19. Can a nurse be Disciplined in every state

    RN2364 replied to ontheupside's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's all part of the problem enuf _already. If I want to move to Kentucky in 10 years and work there as an RN I have to start all over with a monitoring program even if there haven't been any...

  21. Can a nurse be Disciplined in every state

    RN2364 replied to ontheupside's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As much as I want to believe it's about recovery I can't help but think that a lot of it is about MONEY! I would like to think that the Nursing Boards in various states actually care about the...

  22. Can a nurse be Disciplined in every state

    RN2364 replied to ontheupside's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From what I am hearing, if you have go through and complete a recovery program in one state and want to get a license in another even if it's 10 years down the road there is a good chance you will...

  23. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

    RN2364 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    False positives scare me to death! Once they see that positive then blinders go on and you are labeled guilty. No matter what you say or do they don't listen. It's as if you are the first person in...

  24. Positive drug screen

    RN2364 replied to RNAMATX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So sorry this is happening to you. Is there a way they can do hair follicle testing? Can anyone say what can possibly give you a false positive for meperidine. This is what scares the crap out of me....
