  2. Home health agency/ probation

    gnurse2089 replied to Sixthbeatle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    From my understanding, as long as you don't need your RN license in any capacity for the position and aren't being asked to use your nursing skills, the BON has no say in whether you can take the job...

    gnurse2089 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi all, so I currently work as an admissions nurse at a SNF in California. I've been with the facility at four years, was originally hired as a new grad on the floor and worked my way up over time to...

  5. Option 4 at CRL

    gnurse2089 replied to GreenFeather's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The general jist of what I've gotten from these boards is none of us really know what we're being tested for. Some people have made educated guesses but in general, the labs make it extremely...

  6. FirstLab

    gnurse2089 replied to GreenFeather's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here in California, my COC forms state Drugscan at the top so I assume they're the company doing the actual testing. Most of the sites in my area are occupational/urgent care clinics or private drug...

    Hi all, So I just submitted my first quarterly report to my CA BON probation monitor. Along with my AA signatures and Nurse Support group signatures, one of the questions it asks is, do you have a...

  8. Testing during travel/vacation TPAPN

    gnurse2089 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yup, gotta check in every day and be willing to drive whatever length necessary to test. Whether or not you'll ever be picked though is a different story. I started probation for the California BON in...

  9. Missed Test due to Schedule, What Will Happen?

    gnurse2089 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi all, I'm back again in a bit of a crisis. I've posted before about how my random testing schedule has been awful thus far, but today I found myself in a pickle. I was scheduled to work today from...

  10. Missed Test due to Schedule, What Will Happen?

    gnurse2089 replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So after much stressing over the last three days, it seems I'm in the clear. My probation monitor said she understood why I wasn't able to test but warned me this can't happen again or I'll face...

  11. Missed Test due to Schedule, What Will Happen?

    gnurse2089 replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So after several emails back and forth yesterday, it looks like I'm just going to get a warning this time. I've definitely learned my lesson about weekend testing though, always call in advance....

  12. Irregular Testing Schedule, Feeling Angry

    gnurse2089 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi all, so I started my probationary term with the California BON on May 5th due to a DUI I got three years ago. So far I've run the whole gamut from anger, to depression, to now, accepting that my...

  13. CA Nurse on Probation - Need to Vent

    gnurse2089 replied to gnurse2089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Believe me, after 4 years in nursing, any modesty has gone out the window. I'm not sure if it's California law or just the policy of testing sites in the area but they will not allow you to test if...

    gnurse2089 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi guys, I'm an RN in California and my license was recently placed on probation for a DUI. Long story short, 3 years ago I went out with some friends to a show at a local bar. My DD ended up getting...
