  1. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are very similar. Diversion is more recovery based and requires more intense recovery stuff..... like more AA meetings, meeting with leadership from the program routinely, more likely to have...

  3. BRN Ordered Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to djpioneer's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Have you asked anyone in your Nurse Support

  4. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes. But I imagine if iit is something extreme, they may notify you to "cease practice" while investigating. I have not heard of that actually happening,

  5. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, they don't seem to care if you've been convicted of something or not. They essentially want to cover themselves if there's any indication that you're unsafe to practice, and if they believe you...

  6. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are located in Sacramento, where the CA BRN is also located. Cost varies depending on what you need done. A lot of people will recommend not getting a lawyer because of it not making much of a...

    RN Guardian is great. I love my lawyer,

  8. California early termination of probation

    LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have recently been hired to work as a RN Case Manager for Hospice Home Health. The BRN approved it. Supervisiom includes daily in person check ins at the start of shift, supervisor accompanying me...

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you are denying drug abuse or having an issue with drugs/alcohol, they may not let you do/offer you diversion, just FYI. It is meant for nurses who will/have admitted they have a problem and need...

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is under condition #8 of Probation guidelines. You can find them

  11. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've heard from my lawyer that it is best to be forthcoming. A colleague of mine is using the same lawyer and they are contacting the BRN (after receipt of Diversion offer). But you are correct in...

  12. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yep. Mine was a completely personal issue. Had nothing to do with nursing. I would continue with what you're doing (travel nursing) until you find out more info. Once you figure out what your options...

    Yep.

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know someone who went through Diversion and successfully completed it. He did a non-Nursing job while he wasn't allowed to work as a nurse. I will ask him if he minds me providing his contact

  15. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Hnh1993 You need to talk to your lawyer about that. I know for me, it was too late, but I did not retain my lawyer until I received the Accusation. I was naive and thought that since nothing was...

  16. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @R000N, @Hnh1993 Same thing happened to me. My issue (10/2019) occurred outside of work and wasn't even a conviction. Never went to court. It was a bogus arrest that never made it past the arresting...

  17. Travel

    LMRN2003 replied to RNMOM1213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In theory, yes. Once you're done with the discipline, you're done. You won't be restricted so you will be able to be hired by agency. Not entirely sure how the logistics would work, though, for...

  18. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Diversion will be informed of the allegations because they would be reported to the board by the employer. You cannot hide the med diversion. Unless it is deemed that you did not actually divert meds....

  19. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is very true. Good point. My lawyer actually just told me about this happening to a client because they didn't/wouldn't admit that they have a "problem." Good thing to keep in mind. Diversion may...

  20. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just FYI, you won't be able to do agency nursing during Probation. It is one of the restrictions. Honestly, it is hard to say. I know it's a tough decision. I think that ultimately you should seek out...

  21. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was working at a Registry(travel agency) RN when my probation began so I was not allowed to do that and had to leave. It was frustrating because I had a long term contract with Public Health and had...

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sounds like you have already essentially made your choice. It is different for everyone; however, I feel like a lot of people seem to prefer Probation because of it being more manageable,...

  23. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your situation is kind of a conundrum because 1) Diverting meds at work is a situation that makes it even more difficult to explain to potential employers vs a DUI or something else that happened...

  24. California Nurses

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Minimum 6 months. Most likely, 1 year. However, you can potentially be placed on State Disability Insurance for mental health/SUD by your doctor. This will only compensate for about 60% of wages, but...
