  1. License Suspension

    Yes, feel free to send me a message. I usually respond pretty quick ?
  2. License Suspension

    I was in my states monitoring program for 3 years. I can't speak for anyone else but for me, yes it was 100% worth it for several reasons. 1. I love being a nurse, I love my job. I can't imagine doing anything else. 2. I'm not trained to d...
  3. IPRP Affinity Testing

    December 2021? I just sent my caseworker an email and ask what I needed to complete the program. I needed a letter from my employer, my sponser and myself. I emailed those back to her. If you don't reach out I'm sure they will just let you stay in ...
  4. Requirements for completing INPRP

    So I'm coming towards the end of my 3 year run in INPRP. My RMA is up in February. My question is what is required to end this madness? Letters? Another assessment from psych? I don't want to email my caseworker because I don't want him to think I'm ...
  5. Requirements for completing INPRP

    I was released only a week early, not 2 months unfortunately. I finally sent her an email asking what was required and I sent those back quickly. LOL I think maybe because of the recent holidays and covid I just got lucky. It actually ended really sm...
  6. IPRP Affinity Testing

    I "graduated" IPRP last month. It's totally random. I went 6 weeks between tests before! Then once I was tested 2 days in a row.
  7. THIN

    I'm sure they care but if it's not reported to the BON then they have no way of knowing. You'd be surprised how many nurses get fired for failing a drug test or suspension of diversion and their employer does not report it.
  8. License Suspension

    My license was suspended for 9 months in 2018. It was a dark time but things will get better. I just celebrated my 2 years as an RN at a job I love! I have 2 1/2 months left in my states program. Just never give up! While my license was suspended I h...
  9. Affinity drug testing

    I use Affinity. 2 years and 10 months in. only urine so far. I pay $48 to affinity and $28 at testing site. Usually 2x a month.
  10. Requirements for completing INPRP

    No, I've never been in the building, I've don't even know what my caseworker looks like. Yes, I was urine tested during assessment and it depends on your test results and what the addiction assessment says if you get IOP. God yes I had to pay ...
  11. Requirements for completing INPRP

    When I started it was still ISNAP so things might be different now. I first called ISNAP, answered a million questions then I was instructed to call ( I was given the number) and schedule a addiction assessment. I did that, she reported to my case ma...
  12. Requirements for completing INPRP

    Pick away! I'm very happy to help! I'm in for diversion but I'm sure requirements are basically the same.
  13. 30 Freaking Days Left give or take 10 days

    OMG! congratulations! I have 4 1/2 months left and I'm nervous already! I'm a half glass empty type of girl and I'm waiting for something to happen! What is all required for you at the end? Letters of recommendation? Keep counting down, you got this!
  14. Funny not Funny

    I drink a bang energy drink everyday at work. I also use hand sanitizer dozens of times at work. I have left work, tested and haven't tested positive. Indiana I get tested for everything. I don't use soy sauce but eats lots of Chinese food. I don't ...
  15. Funny not Funny

    Have you ever googled "what causes false positives"? It is quite amusing. If I followed everything I'd have to live in a bubble! LOL
  16. Hand Sanitizer

    I was super nervous about this in the beginning but after awhile I found myself using it frequently. With everything that's going on I use it alot. I haven't had any issues. I do, however, hold my breath when I use it until it's dry. ?
  17. Affinity drug testing

    I check in 7 days a week and I hope I'm not jinxing myself but in the 2 1/2 years I've been in this program I've never had to test on the weekend.
  18. Permanent Restrictions

    OMG! I'm so sorry! That is ridiculous! I hope you can indeed have those removed eventually!
  19. Permanent Restrictions

    Permanent as in forever and ever or while your in monitoring??
  20. Indiana agreements

    If you can afford it, absolutely.
  21. Looking for advice dealing with BON and NPDB

    I was called into work on my day off, I was confronted about the diversion. Honestly I was so embarrassed and ashamed I just admitted to everything. The police came and took a report, then I went home. A week later a detective called me and I wen...
  22. Looking for advice dealing with BON and NPDB

    I went through this 2 1/2 years ago. Everyone told me to get a lawyer also. I didn't have a job, an only child of blue collar parents and my grandparents have all passed. I contacted a lawyer here in Indiana. $4,600. I LITERALLY did not have the mon...
  23. TnPap (Tennessee)

    In Indiana, the narc restriction starts when you start working. So ultimately you have to work for 6 months with a narc restriction.
  24. Covid 19

    Indiana suspended testing but I received an email this morning stating testing has been reinstated.
  25. Felony conviction/ OIG list

    Try doctor office's. There should be specialties that only take private insurance. Maybe weight loss clinics, plastic surgery.
