  1. 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...

  2. 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...

  3. 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...

  4. California Nurses

    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,...

  5. 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...

    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...

    If you would like to shoot them my way, I will try my best. ? Feel free to ask on here or you can send me a message. Up to

  8. Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Welcome to the club! The first couple of months are the toughest; mostly because you do have to get that eval done and it takes a bit of time to become acclimated. I promise it does get better and...

  9. California early termination of probation

    LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, it is. I know of a fellow CA probation RN who is currently working with a CA Senator to try and get this changed. If it's passed, it would not go it effect until next year or so, but it would be...

  10. California early termination of probation

    LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes. It stays active on breeze for 10 years (starting from when you complete probation) as a link. The link will lead directly to your stipulated settlement/accusation for all to see. After 10 years,...

  11. Has anyone received their NP license in California after completing their probation as RN?

    LMRN2003 replied to ilovenusing1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is another post on here where someone talks about this, specifically. She was on probation in CA, granted early termination and accepted to Samuel Merritt University FNP program. She...

  12. Travel

    LMRN2003 replied to RNMOM1213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was working for a travel agency prior to probation and they told me to let them know when I've completed it LOL. They have no issues with me but that is likely bc I worked with them

  13. Short term disability while in IPN/rehab

    LMRN2003 replied to Janelle23's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In CA, the paperwork can be completed by numerous sources. I've heard of some folks even getting a chiropractor to complete it. Not sure what state you're in, but in CA, there are numerous

  14. Petitioning the CA BRN for modifications to 3 year probation at 1 year mark

    LMRN2003 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just curious if anyone has successfully petitioned the CA BRN for modifications to their probation at their 1 year mark successfully? I had a great job through a registry/travel nursing, and had to...

    LMRN2003 replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am about 7 months into probation. Also live in the bay area. ?. Good times

  16. Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @hppygr8ful My husband called my parents. They were out of town and we were at their home (where we had previously lived a few months before. Also was my childhood home). My parents assumed I was...

  17. Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Nurse1980 The 2 options you just named sound very similar to what we have in CA. "Diversion" is an alternative to discipline program and if you successfully complete it, your license is clean. Many...

  18. Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Sanfranjflo If you're tested 1/week, wouldn't that be about $360-$440/ month just in testing fees? I have a friend who went through Diversion and told me that the drug testing is about that frequency...

  19. California early termination of probation

    LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @RNfromKorea I did a similar program at Samuel Merritt. Only mine was Entry Level MSN for Case Mgmt and FNP. It is a great school and they are very supportive. My incident leading to probation...

  20. Questions! Help please!

    LMRN2003 replied to Oneday82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It sounds like you reported your stuff when you renewed your license, correct? If so, just hang tight. Like @Oneday82 said, the Board lags tremendously and may be taking awhile to review your stuff. I...

  21. HPRP evaluation

    LMRN2003 replied to RNBSN4BOYS's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What state are you in? I am in CA. I'm guessing HPRP may be similar to the Diversion program (alternative to discipline) we have here in CA. I am currently on Probation, which is similar to Diversion,...

  22. California early termination of probation

    LMRN2003 replied to RNfromKorea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @RNfromKorea that is great to hear! What MSN FNP program did you get into? I'm curious. Congrats to you!! 2 big

  23. Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    @Nurse1980 Hang in there. Just FYI, if you do end up receiving Probation, it will be costly just like Diversion. It may not be AS expensive, but you will have to do monthly drug testing ($360-$500...

  24. TNPAP Right or Wrong?

    LMRN2003 replied to Marie2021's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sorry this happened to you. I am very surprised that Wellbutrin and Gaba are not allowed. I am in CA and was taking both of those and was totally allowed to since they were both prescribed by...

  25. Probation

    LMRN2003 replied to ESRN35's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sorry you're dealing with that right now. We all know that feeling of getting a bad letter from the BRN. Hang in there. I promise, it gets better. The BRN does not determine your livelihood and...
