I pm’d you.

The transfer went smoothly. I was not finished in PA/NJ. I had 2 years to go in PA and 3.5 more to go in NJ. CA didn't count any time already served but they didn't make me repeat rehab or aftercare. I just completed my first year in CA. The testing ...

Hello all! Wanted to post an update for all those that have questions about transferring to another state's monitoring program. This is relevant to NJ, PA & CA. I started this journey in RAMP-NJ & PNAP-PA Summer 2016. (Diverted in NJ and sinc...

It's 3-5 and yes, people get out in 3. They don't count time from other programs but they do take into consideration progress made. For instance, I was given permission to work right after my first DEC meeting and they did not make me repeat any trea...

You should be able to enroll in CA diversion but in order to do so your CA license must be active. You'll need the CA BRN to send quarterly updates to NJ RAMP. I don't know if completion of CA Diversion will satisfy NJ RAMP. Haven't gotten that far y...

So very sorry Eris. I know how it feels to lose a father that is your world and a big part of your foundation. Sending comfort and prayers your way. When I was grieving someone close to me shared this: "Grief is the price we pay for love. I hurt so d...

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh, sweet bliss! Congratulations!

You may have to provide hair or blood initially if you claim a sobriety date that would exceed the coverage of a UDS. For instance, hair covers up to 90 days. Blood peth (blood alcohol) i think is up to 80 hours. I'm not sure about nails. When I enro...

Not a dumb question. They do coordinate somewhat but I did play a large part in facilitating that coordination. I had to pay NJ $100 when I started with them but they haven't billed me since. That was back in 6/2016. 3 months later 9/2016 when I star...

I started this journey in RAMP (NJ). They are a straight 5 years. Test at least 2x month. If you go to Quest labs no collection fee for urines. Tests are $40-$65 a pop depending on option. Most frequent was option 5 which was $53. They test for a bun...

No, recovery/sobriety cannot be forced. Not for any considerable length of time. Not if you're truly and alcoholic/addict. Did I screw up? Yup. Did I make stupid a** choices? yup. Will I ever do it again? Nope. I would've shaped up with just the THRE...

Hi, been in PNAP for a little over a year. 2.5 to go. Completely doable for me. Almost finished the 1 year of after care. Testing has been fine. No positives or dilutes. I'm mindful of what I eat but not crazy. I haven't stopped using hand sanitizer ...

Currently in monitoring program in another state. Working as a nurse. Relocating to CA. Applying for CA license. My question is do you have to work as a nurse in order to complete either probation or intervention program in CA? Hope I can do interven...

Thank you for your post. Very sobering. Glad to see you came out the other side stronger and wiser. Thank you for sharing what you learned.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. I spoke with someone at the diversion program and explained my situation. They said they did except transfers from other states. I'll apply and take it from there. Thanks again.

In PA. Self reported to my state's monitoring program. Took a leave of absence from my critical care position. Completed IOP, 90/90, etc. After 4 months was approved to return to work by the BON. Transitioned into a non-clinical RN position in same h...

So glad that worked out for you! Keep it moving!í ½í¸Š

Reneern623 Thank you so much for your reply. That's crazy! You have to work under your license but no patient care? What exactly do they expect you to do? Well, I'll just have to deal I guess cause I'm definately moving to CA. I was already resigned...

I know this is a really old post but I'm looking to do the exact same thing (moving to CA). I'm too new to pm you. How did you make out with your transfer? did they make you start over? When you applied for CA license did you disclose that you were a...

Just started a monitoring program. Was wondering if anyone was able to get into case management when they were allowed to go back to work. I will have restrictions once approved. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I am open to absolutely anything. I have not yet been approved to go back to working as a nurse. Just putting some feelers out. Actually, I will be relocating and will probably have to restart a monitoring program in my new st...

hppygr8ful, i am am moving to CA from NJ and will be looking for work. I can't PM yet, too new but would love a lead. I'm just starting nj monitoring program. Thanks

Hi Grateful RN, did you already have a CA license when you transferred into their program? I am moving to CA and just started a monitoring program in NJ. I read in another forum that if you were in a program in another state and didn't already have ...
