TPAPN completion

Nurses Recovery

Published

For anyone that's successfully completed TPAPN....did you complete on the anniversary of the day you signed your contract? How long before you were no longer required to check in? I should be done in a day or two and I was just curious what to expect. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Congratulations on your completion! You are an inspiration to me. I just passed my halfway mark. I read where you said step down testing in the final year, is that a real thing??? No one mentioned this to me.. I would love it though, I am tested at least 3 times a month, sometimes 4. Sometimes 3 in a week! Makes no sense to me. But I guess not much of this program does or is supposed to! Thanks for any input from anyone, I would love to be able to ask for less testing, save some money! I haven't ever missed a check in or tested positive. My very first one was a dilute, but I then figured out how to prevent that, my bladder is trained!

Congrats again on your completion!!

Yes, need to know is there step down testing the final year. 15 months in. No worries with testing, but would like a little less of it to look forward to.

During my last year of the three year contract my case manager sent me an email stating I was approved for final step down testing. I was only tested once a month for the last 10 months of my contract as opposed to the 2-3 times a month I had been doing.

I wish they did that for other states. Florida is 2-3 tests a month for 5 years. I heard CA has increased up to 4-5 a month for 3 years

They really should, that's part of recovery. You know, less and less monitoring until you are free and have to stay sober by your own accord. The fact that they do not decrease testing prior to being done with the programs shows the corruption of it is all about the money. I am glad I am in TX, I just really hope my case manager does this.. If not, I guess I will ask. She has been really helpful in the past, I just hope they do not switch false managers on me again!

Congrats !!! Sept will be a year for me. I am looking forward to see if there will be any changes with Legislature that was signed with the Sunset Committee.
