  2. trouble transitioning to dayshift

    I have been a nurse for 7 years now and just recently started orienting in the ICU. I am a night nurse but it is common practice for nurses orienting in ICU to do 2 months of day shift before returning to night shift. The problem is that I absolutely...
  3. What do you tell them during interview

    I recently completed TPAPN and on my interviews, I was always 100% transparent and honest. I told them what I did, how I regretted it and how I had changed. I got passed over for a few jobs but was able to find a job and successfully complete the pr...
  4. finally... I cried.

    To the OP, I can totally feel your pain. I too work in long term care. However, I have worked in other settings and can tell you that there is no setting like the nursing home. In my time in LTC, I have seen some of the worst behavior from both co-...

  6. 4 quick questions about starting with First Lab

    ppltx, I am currently in TPAPN. I guess the board is telling you to self report? I am not sure. I am currently in TPAPN but that was after I was referred by the board after a positive drug screen. If I could do everything over again, I would have...
  7. do you HAVE to work as a nurse when you are in the program?

    I think most of the programs are the same and want you to have a certain amount of time working in nursing so that you can be monitored and exhibit safe nursing practices. In Texas, TPAPN requires 1 full year working for the same employer in order t...
  8. Interview tomorrow

    Hi All, I was just wondering how many of you tell the recruiters you are in TPAPN vs. waiting to tell the manager who is interviewing. I have been getting calls from recruiters and It goes really well and they forward my resume. Then I start to fee...

    I went on the interview. I actually did really well and the interview lasted approximately 1 hour. I believe I had all the qualities they were looking for. Of course when I mentioned TPAPN, the interview changed. The interviewer was honest with me...
  13. Interview tomorrow

    I am so nervous. I have an interview tomorrow at a Davita. The first place I worked under TPAPN turn out to be a nightmare and eventually lost medicare funding. In December I actually got a job offer at another psych hospital after being referred ...
  14. Relocating with a Monitoring Agreement

    I totally agree with nowim clean. If you have only 9 months to complete your contract, you should stay put until you are done. I too have heard that some states will make you start from scratch. It is really hard to find a job here in Texas when y...
