what is this IPN?

"Intervention Project For Nurses" they monitor "impaired" nurses. Just because you have to have an evaluation does not mean you will be monitored. But if you want to work as a nurse, you have to play their game and do what they say. Good luck. They have a website if you google it.

Wow... thats new to me never heard of IPN. Based upon the info posted by Tweety it sounds like a private matter.

You do not fool around with IPN. For impaired health professionals they are a God-send. Even pharmacists regain careers. We have an excellent facility in Tampa that specializes in addicted health care professionals and lawyers. Healthcare Connection. A nurse or physician in treatment there will receive superb care--and return to work. The medical director there has personal experience in addiction and treatment at his facility is a gift of a lifetime.

;)woow me too,i guess i'm teetering on the edge.didn't know "big brother" had his hooks in so deep. hey i'm good

good luck! I'm waiting on the outcome of eval. Wasn't as bad as I thought-I hope.

Hello, I have just been evaluated in Tampa, the MD said no diagnosis will be made as he is sure I don't have an addiction problem. He however recommended 6 hours of chemical dependance class. Has anyone been in this situation? I have been offered the job of my dreams and I'm afraid I will loose this opportunity because of this. Any input about the monitoring under these circumstances? thank you all in advance, your imput will be greatly appreciated.
