1. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

   LMRN2003 replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Honestly, if it was one drink 5 days ago, it may not even produce a positive result. As far as punishment, I'm not sure what they will do, exactly, because I wasn't in a Diversion program, but I had...

2. California early termination of probation

   LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I asked my probation monitor this while on probation and he said if you take vacation, doesn't affect it. I literally took a week off almost every month for 8 months for baby bonding during that time...

3. California early termination of probation

   LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Yes. But it depends on what led to your probation. I was able to secure a job doing home health hospice while on probation, but I didn't have a DUI nor legal charges (not sure if you have these), and...

4. PETH testing

   LMRN2003 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I definitely consumed cake and donuts with icing, etc., during probation and never had an issue. People must be consuming exorbitant

5. California early termination of probation

   LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

   It depends on your probation stipulation, your monitor, and the NEC that is reviewing and either approving/disproving your job. Like I mentioned before, not everyone is allowed to do home health. As...

6. Pregnant while in monitoring

   LMRN2003 replied to Lunacat28's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Hi there, I went through probation in CA and became pregnant about 2 months into the program. I was able to have a normal pregnancy and my OBGYN wrote me a letter requesting for me to be excused...

7. PETH testing

   LMRN2003 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

   You would have to consume/use an excess amount of these things to produce a positive Peth as well as a positive test for alcohol in your urine. Just try to avoid things like Kombucha, poppy seeds (I...

8. CA RN on probation, BRN pending RN position

   LMRN2003 replied to RnJC's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Lots of folks do DaVita, SNFs. I highly recommend hospice as it is not nearly as laborious as SNF and kidney dialysis. Lots of charting and psychosocial stuff with patients and families, but I love...

9. Lawyer, monitoring program

   LMRN2003 replied to Friendlicat's topic in Nurses Recovery

   The lawyer is typically only used for the beginning to assist with communication with the board. After that, they are not necessary unless you mess

10. Monitoring program while in NP school

    LMRN2003 replied to Friendlicat's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi there, I had a friend who completed her BSN while on probation in CA. She had to get permission from the "NEC," (Nurse Education Consultant), which is also the person who approves employment....

11. Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    LMRN2003 replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have had to do this at one of the testing sites I used to go to. I don't remember if I had to spin 360 or not, but It definitely felt a bit invasive; however, I don't feel it was too bad overall. I...

12. GA BON

    LMRN2003 replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Like others have said, the programs sound a lot worse than they actually are. After awhile, you become used to the routine and it does go by fast. I didn't do a diversion program (it was offered to...

13. New to Monitoring

    LMRN2003 replied to ragdolls0713's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel like CA does this or something very similar. My monitor didn't tell me they do this specifically, but he did tell me that he will know if I'm working for a job that isn't

14. Are you allowed controlled medications while you work?

    LMRN2003 replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I understand how you feel. I hated discussing my issues with health care folks. I still do. I think a lot of it (at least for me) is because I feel embarrassed because I am a health professional...
