1. Fails pre employment drug screen

   TNPAPnurse replied to Ftwthnrs's topic in Recovery

   Stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW and seek legal advice. You’re going to get sucked up into a program you don’t deserve. They’ll find a reason to keep you in the program. Being on prescription adderall and admitting to having anxiety is all it takes. ...

2. COVID 19 and Monitoring Programs

   TNPAPnurse replied to RN0904's topic in Recovery

   Yes! I notice maybe two or three of the same people over the last couple years, but it’s usually a rotating group of ragtag souls who never last. Or they disappear and come back with a relapse. Over and over. Rehab was no different—so many people who...

3. COVID 19 and Monitoring Programs

   TNPAPnurse replied to RN0904's topic in Recovery

   In TN they’re letting us do online groups. I’ve always hated group meetings. I get absolutely nothing out of them and I’m so glad my state is letting us do them online. I’m so tired of pretending like I’m all in and that I enjoy them. One good thing ...

4. Anyone left TNPAP before contract end?

   TNPAPnurse replied to RNlove12's topic in Recovery

   In Tennessee, regardless of the reason you are in TNPAP to begin with (self reporting or otherwise), if you drop out, your license will be revoked by the board. If you ever drop out and decide to go back, you’ll get five years in the program instead ...

5. Hair Test

   TNPAPnurse replied to Scollins2's topic in Recovery

   It goes back 90 days. In TN, they use USDTL for their hair tests I’m TNPAP, we get two hair tests a year and two blood PeTH tests a year, regardless of what substance we abused. So far I’ve had one hair and one blood. I’ve been in my program almost...

6. Looking for recovered or recovering TN nurses

   TNPAPnurse replied to TNPAPnurse's topic in Recovery

   I’m doing as well as can be expected. Looking back to last year and the year before, I’m leaps and bounds ahead of where I thought I’d be when things first went to hell. I’m working full-time and counting the days (months, years), til I’m out of the...

7. Finally working again!

   TNPAPnurse posted a topic in Recovery

   I start my new job next month! I'm ready to start caring for people again after being off for nearly a year. Check in, go piss, keep my nose clean, repeat... Counting down the months til I can relax after work with a glass of wine and go out with m...

9. What's the deal with asking about what individual tests are for.

   TNPAPnurse replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Recovery

   Not naming names, but I think there's a few people who are active on the Recovery forum that have drank so much of the 12-step Kool-Aid that they can't just worry about themselves, they have to worry about everyone else. They should stop it. It's oka...

    Well maybe YOU were up to no good, but not everyone is trying to "beat the system". My momma always said "mind your biscuits and it'll all be gravy." If someone's gonna cheat, they're gonna get caught eventually. Let that be their problem.

    Well why don't you keep that "in your mind" and quit worrying about everyone else's business? Just because someone wants to know what's being tested doesn't mean they're cheating. Good god. Get a life.

    Because I'm paying for it, that's why.
