8 more days left until my TPAPN 3 year sentence is over and I can NOT wait! Congrats to you!!

Just start reserving every day at 10am or whatever time you go. You can schedule up to two weeks online. So if you stay a week on top of that you will always get the appointment you want. Then if you’re not selected every day just cancel the appointment after you check in. I’ve done it and it’s made my life much simpler. Good luckYou can schedule up to two weeks online.

Sorry some kind of way the sentences got mixed up

I am in the same situation that you are in. I am in TPAPN in Corpus & Between finding the appropriate job, having that job approved by my case manager, and getting through HR, I still do not have a job and I have interviewed at nine locations that wanted to hire me. This is a small city and they just don’t call you back or return any emails. They just act like they never met you. So I understand what you were saying and I do not know what to tell you because I do not know what to do for myself. At this point all that’s left is going to get a j between finding the appropriate job, having that job approved by my case manager, and getting through HR, I still do not have a job and I have interviewed at nine locations that wanted to hire me.

I just received a letter that i was submitted to TPAN. They said that since I did not enroll, which I haven't received anything to enroll, I am being submitted to the board. Is that "The letter" or is it an official letter from the board ? Thank you in advance

I'm in the same predicament as you unfortunately. I don't have the answers that you need as I am learning about all of this too. if you need someone to talk to, I am here. there are some really great people on this site that I have met.

Thank you for your honesty. I appreciate your advise. You are correct. I have been burned out off and on since 2008. Im good at what I do but I havent wanted to do it for quite sometime. Ive worked at 15 different hospitals traveling and its all the same just different city, staff, & patients but same old S$&?. I do need to work on myself and from 1 location. The traveling and bouncing around hasnt been beneficial to me. The sad part is.. I knew better than to do what I did. I knew what the outcome was going to be. Its like I needed a permanent way out. I continues to divert anyway. And when I got caught, for a moment, I knew it was over and for a brief minute I was relieved UNTIL I started reading everything about this (which I never thought of) and then started freaking out. On top of all this, I have lied to the Board in both states about being Bipolar so I am ultimately Done when it comes to them. I keep getting confused because going through the motions and putting out this ridiclous amount of money just so my name doesnt go on the BON website for the public to know seems like a waste of money and time when once everything is revealed I know I wont have a license anymore. Thanks for listening. I cant talk about this with any of my nursing friends. I will keep yall posted as you do the same please.

Ok. Thank you so much for answering this question for me. I guess I will just have to say that it isnt ok to contact my previous agency due to some kind of differences and see if it works.

My situation is almost identical to yours and its scary as hell. I am bipolar, in my 40's, have no relationship with my mother and father, am an only child, and have been fired from every job that i have had since 2008. Ive been a nurse since 2003. Ive been ‘on the run' especially from myself. Thats one person you just cant get away from. I go to different cities waiting to get a psychiatrist falling off of my meds. I usually make it 3 months on my meds once i get them and then im off to another different city to start the cycle all over again. One of my contracts were cancelled and i literally didnt have $1 and was in my car with all that i own when i had to check myself into a BHU. I ended up meeting someone in there who I stayed with until i got back on my feet 3 months later- Not A Smart Decision I know! I have no one to help me, no one to rely on, No support system. So when I get sick and Im the only person who takes care of me, Everything turns bad until im back on meds and i pick myself back up. I feel for you. I really do.

Thanks for replying. From what i now understand, Texas is the worst state to be going through this in. I simply dont know what to do. I keep reading other peoples experiences and i end up even more confused than when i started. I still havent been reported. I checked again tonight. I was going to go through a different travel company and just work until The BON mails me the official letter. I went to update my application and one of the questions is ‘has my license ever been investigated or suspended?' Am i suppose to straight up lie to them and move on? I feel bad about that but.... is your friend on this site that you spoke of? Thanks for replying.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your help

Thank you so much for replying to me. Thanks for the good info too

New to this site. May have posted wrong the 1st time that I tried. Im a travel nurse from LA that was working in TX when I was accused of diverting meds at the facility that I was on contract with. I was unable to attend a meeting with the facility and did not take a UDS. I was termed from the facility and my agency. I will be contacting an attorney this week. After reading the articles on this site I still have so many questions since Im not from TX. Since it seems to take the BON so long to get in contact w/me, Can/Should I get another nursing job now and continue working until I hear from the BON officially? Do I tell the next job that I find about me diverting drugs? Or do I just apply as if nothing hapenned? Also, I wont be able to afford the TPAPN program, attory fees,& fines while staying in TX where I know no one all by myself. Do yall know if it is possible to go back to my state of LA and go through their program? I would have help from friends and get a job there. I truly dont want any criminal charges. I dont mind if I cant do nursing anymore. I just dont know what to do. I messed up. I own that. This is alot to process right now. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Did you end up getting any information on this post? My situation is almost identical to yours except for the differences in states.
