So I work in a busy ER. When a male nurse has a female patient who needs a pelvic, foley or straight cath the men automatically come to us female nurses without even a conversation with the patient / family. Even if the patient is unconscious they wo...

Can anyone give me info on the OIG list.... has anyone here been able to get their name off that list? How do I go about getting off that list?

Has anyone had any problems/positives from ETOH hand sanitizer? I worry I will get a false positive. Thoughts......

It's a 3 year program! I am about 1/2 way thru. It's been a struggle but it has gone fairly quick. I wanted to travel also. Seems my life has been put on hold.

I have been in the CANDO program about 1.5 years. There are a ton of hoops to jump thru but it's doable! The best places for jobs are Iasis. They are CANDO friendly. Banner not so much. It I know nurses in the program that do work at Banner. Keep yo...

I am in AZ and there is one 24 hour test facility.

So why a 5 year program? I thought Arizona was 3.... Did you get a hospital job right away? What hospitals are CANDO friendly? Are there some places that are more inclined to hire a nurse in CANDO then others?? Any information that would be help...

I agree. I am sure he needs a friend right now. Someone who has maybe been in a similar situation as him. Someone to give him words of encouragement vs judgement. Someone to listen.... IDK if you are in a recovery program as well but if you are I a...

Anyone out there familiar with the BON's stance on marijuana now that it is legal in many states? I pretty much assume that any nurse in recovery would have to stay away from it as it's a mind altering substance. How about the nurse not in recovery?...

Arizona also lets you use controlled substances while in the CANDO program as long you have the correct documentation and a new Rx each month from your physician.

That boy WAS "fixing to die"! What she did was make a lie saving decision. Your judging her seems ignorant to me. It's seems ignorant and I am appalled you took an uplifting story of a very intelligent RN who made the RIGHT decision and turned it in...

The double standard I am really referring to is that it's seems quite ok for a male RN to have me do procedures they feel uncomfortable doing. I get the with this sue happy society protecting yourself and your license. When it comes to returning the ...

I work in an inept detox facility and treat nurses, physicians,and dentists on a daily basis. I never report on any of them but I do recommend they self report. From what I have seen the BON etc is easier to deal with if you self report ...

Depending on what tests are done you can get a variety of results. If it's just a quick sample not done thru a lab you most likely will get a positive for opiates. Some breakdown a littl farther and you can identify Hydrocodobe. If it's sent to a lab...

CONGRAT!!!

AA is Annonymous..... My friend is my "sponsor" and meetings are held in my home........

Ok I have been on this monitoring for 6 months! It goes by daily check-inn by daily check-inn. UDS by UDS. So I now have 2.5 years left on my jail sentence. I love all the posts from everyone and hearing about what programs they are in and how they ...

I often wonder if these idiots have common sense. They say common sense is not so common! Really you would risk it 4 days before your contract end. That's just dumb. I can't believe they are even looking into it. Again money power and control is wha...

Today is a good day. Today is a scary day. Today is the start of a new journey. Today is the first day of moving onward and upward. Today I was offered a position as a nurse. YES A NURSE! I have been applying and interviewing for jobs for months wit...

I have always done ER. I wanted to do dialysis but haven't been able to even get an interview. I don't see where there are many job openings here in Phoenix for same. I miss the ER but maybe it was just my time to move on...

What type of nursing are you doing?

CONGRATS soroAKS!!

I am in CANDO. I was told that as long as it happened before you signed your contract you are ok. If it happens after all bets are off. So it's not when they are found but when they occurred. Now if there is law enforcement situation idk about that. ...

Congrats K10 and twoyearnurse! When I started I was sure I would never find work. As of today I am grateful and thankful. All we did was orientation but everyone was so nice. In all my years as a nurse I have never been with so many positive people....

Congratulations to you also. It took months but it finally happened. I start the 12th also. I am so nervous. I feel like it's to good to be true. I am afraid it's all a dream. I am afraid they made a mistake and they will withdraw the offer. I can't ...
