    The "no results" time frame can last for a while, it really just depends on when the lab received your specimen. I have had it go for a week or more before I've had a result. Don't get hung up on...

    Don't get hung up on these things, as long as you know you are clean, that's all that matters. Early on, I would get myself whipped up into a state over these things, I had a similar thing happen to...

    @ThatOneNurse, I can totally empathize with you on the observed- mental block thing. It is something I have to consciously be aware of and train myself to let it go- no pun intended!! That being...

    Why is the general feel to this board that the Board of Nursing is 'out to get' us

    tarab333 replied to RecoveryNurse2015's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have a slightly different take on the boards. I have worked with 2 boards on two separate occasions and I have never felt resentment towards them. They are there to protect the public, not to hold...
