IPN and working

Hi all, I saw my evaluator and waiting for contract. I am placed on loa at my job and will be giving the chance to come back once i start the contract. IPN is aware of my job and told me not to work until they tell me. which I'm doing. I have a gig with a flu clinic that is giving flu shots to different office employees and its once a month if anything during flu season. I don't have to accept the job is more like on PRN bases. What should i do about this job, tell IPN, don't go anymore to give flu shots? How would IPN find out? not trying to lie or anything like that, asking for honest opinion, any personal experience about IPN finding out about a side job? I am aware that honesty is important and I want to succeed, but i don't want to say more than i should and hurt myself. Please no judgment, honest advise. Thank you all..

    I would just skip the flu shot job this year. I have no idea if IPN would find out about it, I can't see how they would really, but it isn't worth getting kicked out of IPN over. You aren't allowed to have multiple employers, so telling IPN probably won't help, they'd just say no. I personally had a side gig working for the federal government during disasters. It was very rare that I would actually be deployed, more often it was just training trips. But when I got into tpapn my case manager said I could not do those trips anymore. Two years later, with full tpapn compliance, never late on reports, no positive drug screens, etc, I asked tpapn again, and that time they DID allow me to do those trips again! I was surprised that they didn't require me to tell my side gig about tpapn or sign forms or anything, but they didn't. Just needed me to check in every day as usual. No drug tests until my trip was over and I got back home. So for now I think you should just skip the flu shot job, but to be perfectly honest, I don't think IPN would find out.

    I wouldn't work on anything using my RN license without telling IPN first. Do not risk this opportunity that you have been given to continue practicing your profession. Not sure if you are attending some sort of recovery group such as AA, NA. In AA the have learned that honesty is powerful part of my recovery and I am learning to incorporate it in every aspect of my life.

    Well wishes in this new journey

    Thank you for your kind replies. I am waiting on my contract and decided to not call the gig back, I don't want to risk it. Too much to loose and I want to succeed. I'm starting next week on support group and AA.
