   Kel, So happy for you! It feels so good doesn’t it! To a job well done, cheers!

2. 90 day countdown.

   Ash2213 replied to Kel65's topic in Recovery

   I guess it is fermented so has tiny amounts of alcohol in it. I am sure it depends on the quantity and brand. I did try to avoid it though if I thought I may be tested..!

3. Tpapn weekends

   Ash2213 replied to Oldpro1985's topic in Recovery

   Weekends are not restricted in TPAPN, that I know of. I was in it for 3 years and never had a problem. The first 6 months they say no narcs or call, and you can never be a supervisor, but for the most part, nights and weekends are fine.

4. Allergies on TPAPN

   Ash2213 replied to N377311's topic in Recovery

   Zyrtec, claritin, Xysol are all fine with tpapn. Benadryl is a different story and they "could" test you for it. Stay away from all the "D" meds, with dextromethorphan. They test for that too.

5. 90 day countdown.

   Ash2213 replied to Kel65's topic in Recovery

   Kel, I am pretty sure you know how my release went. I was on my 4th case manager of my program and I am pretty sure she was not very computer savvy. She was very nice though. I emailed her on my day of completion asking if it was indeed completing t...

6. Living while in TPAPN

   Ash2213 replied to N377311's topic in Recovery

   I don't really know for sure if it would really affect a drug screen. But, I know that when I was in monitoring, I would have been way to scared to risk it. I went through monitoring super paranoid though, so I may have been over the top.

7. RN with stipulations looking for work in DFW

   Ash2213 replied to Lindsay0802's topic in Recovery

   Yes, the nurse who worked at Kindred had a public board order. Hang in there!

8. RN with stipulations looking for work in DFW

   Ash2213 replied to Lindsay0802's topic in Recovery

   I second UHS. I worked for one in the beginning of my monitoring but did not have public stips, but I worked with other nurses that did.. It can be tough but it is worth it get through what you have to and have a job. I also know a new grad that work...

9. So much for "step down year" in TPAPN!

   Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Recovery

   They will probably hit you with 3 in a row pretty quickly. That seemed to be the pattern for me the last year. I did have 18 in my final year and was not tested again after that. But, as some on here said they got out early, I did not. I had to conta...

10. It is DONE.

    Ash2213 posted a topic in Recovery

    Well, in a very anticlimactic finish, I have completed my 3 years in TPAPN. It is funny how I have dedicated 3 years of my life to checking in and being paranoid, for it just to come to an end like that. It doesn't feel real. Tomorrow I don't have to...

11. To TPAPN or not...

    Ash2213 replied to N377311's topic in Recovery

    You will make it through this. Best case scenario for you is EEP. If you are not an addict or alcoholic, then TPAPN is not really appropriate for you anyway. Definitely ask about EEP. Your employer has a duty to report under the state law, and it is ...

12. I am DONE! Finally

    Ash2213 replied to Short LPN's topic in Recovery

    Congrats!

13. Positive UDS

    Ash2213 replied to Red<nurse's topic in Recovery

    Perse, I don't mean to hijack the thread but I am fearful I will have a positive from my last UDS. It is seriously probably my last UDS of monitoring too. I ate Korean food the night before and although has crossed my mind to watch the soy sauce in t...

14. Holiday testing

    Ash2213 replied to Red<nurse's topic in Recovery

    In TX, we check in everyday of the week, holidays and all. I have never been selected to test on a holiday. I have only been selected to test one time on a weekend (Saturday), and that was about 9 months into the program. That was back when we used R...

15. So obsessive and overwhelmed.

    Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Recovery

    We ate about 6:30pm and I tested at 10am the next morning. So, about 14-15 hours. In my head I am thinking there is no way I consumed enough to test positive, but I am so irrationally fearful. Someone posted that we are in purgatory and it is so true...
