in PNAP looking for work

Hello,

I am an NP looking for work and I am in PNAP (nurse monitoring program). what are the options for getting back to work? I have limits on my presriptive practices according to my program. I have been able to go to NA meetings and I celebrated 90 days sober (hooray!) and was looking for as much help as possible!

1) would I be able to get a job and not mention it to PNAP and if I did what would be the consequences (this cant be the right choice).

2) what jobs are suited for this type of situtation. people have suggested teaching but I really prefer clinical work and direct care with patients.

3) do people recommend making a case with the monitoring program to see if things can be modified?

Thanks

SlySal

    First congrats on 90 days!

    Hmm....I work in nephrology and though dialysis is monitor friendly for nurses, I write tons of narc scripts.

    Perhaps SNF/LTC rounding? Maybe as a navigator? I know there is a large (500+bed) hospital near me that is looking for two NPs to navigate bundled payment pts through surgery from preop to intraop, to postop and discharge. I do not know if they write scripts or not.

    Many congratulations on your new sobriety. Please don't even joke about not disclosing your status to a prospective employer. At only 90 days sober to even be able to work in this profession is a blessing, imo, and no way would I want to screw that up. I'd consider sticking close to home. Who do you know in the business that might be willing to give you a fresh start? It will likely be easier to get a chance from someone who already knows you and the talents you can bring to a practice rather than a stranger. Personally I wouldn't ask for consideration or modification from the board but would continue to fall on your sword and do whatever it is they require without so much as a snivel even if that means doing something out of the direct patient care arena for a while. Best of luck to you.
