  1. ANYONE ELSE IN TEXAS???

    Uncle-JoJo replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've had great success with home health in TPAPN; however, whether or not you can apply for job depends on your case

  2. Failed pre employment screen

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Angel_Rivera's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In the Texas you're not required to report to the board of nursing if no practice violation occurred; however, it's mandatory we make referrals to TPAPN. Added: I agree with what KyBeagle said. Even...

  3. HOW LONG WILL MY LICENSE HAVE A BOARD ACTION?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to KingJames1227's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's true. Most states like Texas have boards of nursing that like to say they have a confidential program to help nurses with recovery, but they often make the order publicly available. Every nurse...

  4. OFFICALLY DONE WITH 3 YEAR PROBATION!

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Anon143's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats. It's not easy to do what you did. When I finished my probation with TPAPN the first thing I wanted to do was finally wash my mouth with Cool Mint

  5. Failed pre employment screen

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Angel_Rivera's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They'll report you to the board of nursing and you'll have to serve several years in a probation program (aka: peer assistant program, alternative to discipline, etc). Get an attorney to discuss your...

  6. What does my future hold?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to TravelingRN21's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Gotcha. Well, hopefully your attorney can negotiate the best possible outcome which is a confidential order requiring you to participate in your states monitoring program for a few years. Keep us...

  7. Meltdown at work, does TPAPN need to know?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I missed a check-in once in the three years I was in TPAPN and they never even mentioned it to me. I also didn't notice any increase in testing. Their participation agreement doesn't say they'll do...

  8. Please help.

    Uncle-JoJo replied to HippieGypsyGirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't stress enough that you need to avoid providing any information about how you collected your pain medication. In many cases, HIPAA laws go out the window when the pattern of collection involved...

  9. What does my future hold?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to TravelingRN21's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is your attorney concerned about your mental health related admissions because you didn't report them to the board of nursing when you applied for

  10. Thinking about moving to TX/TPAPN

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Invincible summer's topic in Nurses Recovery

    IPN forbidding you to practice in another state doesn't mean you need reciprocity to move into a state that's within the eNLC. You just need to contact IPN and let them know you'd like to move to...

  11. Not 4 sure

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Myquestion's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did you just get out of TPAPN or are you about to go into

  12. Meltdown at work, does TPAPN need to know?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to N377311's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unless you're not including something significant, I can't see why anyone would report you to

  13. ANYONE ELSE IN TEXAS???

    Uncle-JoJo replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    TPAPN isn't that bad from what I've heard, and my case management team was nothing but

  14. Cost of Eval for TPAPN

    Uncle-JoJo replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only person in my city that was on the TPAPN approved list had only one receptionist and told me she hadn't heard of TPAPN. After she figured out what TPAPN was, she said the therapist would...

  15. Not sure what to do ):

    Uncle-JoJo replied to dlkj413's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd go on with life and apply for your new license. If you truly didn't divert then you shouldn't have anything to fear about a new license. However, do know that if you aren't 100% honest with...

  16. Multistate license

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You shouldn't have any problems reactivating it should you move back. If it costs nothing in an expired state, leave it

  17. Multistate license

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Randomnurse3's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I ran into this problem when the whole ENLC kicked in because I was working between Texas and New Mexico during the time that New Mexico wasn't going to join new compact. You can only have one active...

  18. Self reporting?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to SD152420's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Forgive me if I missed it, but did you admit that you

  19. My Guide to TPAPN

    Uncle-JoJo posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Disclaimer: This surrounds my experience in TPAPN, but it should apply to many state monitoring programs with some exceptions. Three years and I'm finally finished with a completion letter in my...

  20. Poppy seeds

    Uncle-JoJo replied to RN_4's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There's no good answer to this. You're not being dishonest if you don't notify your case manager. If it was really one cracker and you noticed it on the second, I'd just wait to see what the tests...

  21. 22 days No Drug Test

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This happened to me a time or two. It's not

  22. My Guide to TPAPN

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Uncle-JoJo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you successfully complete TPAPN your license should appear as though nothing happened. If you're still in monitoring TPAPN required you only work in Texas until complete. However, if you're done...

  23. Failed breathalyzer

    Uncle-JoJo replied to remorse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Whether you quit or get fired is irrelevant. They can report you regardless. Get a lawyers advice as to how you should proceed and don't make any anxious decisions, like quiting, until you've acquired...

  24. Trouble at the lab today, what to do?

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd make sure you have names of those involved should it come up later and don't speak a word of it to your program unless they ask. The feeling I got from my three years in monitoring is that all...

  25. My Guide to TPAPN

    Uncle-JoJo replied to Uncle-JoJo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Five years hppy? I couldn't imagine doing five. Good job getting that over with. Thank you for the
