Hello. I am hoping to connect with others that are in Mass. I signed my contract this spring (2017) with SARP...any other MA nurses here?

Hi. Would you share what your experience has been? I've had a complaint and am looking into SARP and am hoping to connect with others as well. Thanks!

Hello. Happy to see a Massachusetts RN here! I have been in a year now and slowly adjusting to the requirements of the program. There are a lot and seem to be constantly changing, which is a challenge. I had high hopes that SARP would offer a lot of support in recovery and in connecting with other RNs in the program. I was wrong, they are strictly monitoring you. The peer meetings are not that helpful to me. I get my support from my sponsor and a few woman I have connected with in the required 12-step meetings...and this forum is a great place to come and know you are not alone in this! I have followed the requirements and am starting to accept this "New normal " and doing my best to stay positive. I want to return to work as a RN without a "mark" on my license...and following these requirements is my only option. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you have! Can you private message on here?
