  2. TNPAP Questions

    DistressedRN replied to TNNurse419's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, TNPap follows the recommendations of the evaluator. If TNPap offered you six months it is because that is what the evaluator stated you need. Then they pretty well just follow the...

  3. TnPap (Tennessee)

    DistressedRN replied to ams0822's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would take the 6 months contract and just go with it. You will spend untold amounts of time and money fighting this and in that time you do that, you could be done with the monitoring. Also, if...

  6. License Renewal

    DistressedRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Soooo. I'm in a monitoring program in a compact state and the BON here is fully aware and I'm not worried about that renewal. But I also hold two other licenses in two non-compact states and they're...

  7. License Renewal

    DistressedRN replied to DistressedRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, but I did have to notify them that I was participating in the diversion program. I will never have any discipline or marks on my license when this is said &

  8. Looking for recovered or recovering TN nurses

    DistressedRN replied to TNPAPnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So far, so good! I had my first hair test last week and it was negative of course. I had heard horror stories about people getting scalped and leaving huge gaps but my lady was awesome. She took...

  9. New to Alabama VDAP

    DistressedRN replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Breathe...you're in the absolute worst part of the process now, the waiting and worrying and the fear of the unknown. As someone who just got out of inpatient in April, let me advise you to go...

  10. Looking for recovered or recovering TN nurses

    DistressedRN replied to TNPAPnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    TNPAPNurse, I got an email telling me I had a PM from you but when I tried to open it here, I'm getting a message saying I don't post enough to send/receive PMs yet. Crazy, huh? I could see the...

  11. Do you post on social media?

    DistressedRN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Meh. I've always been extremely active on social media. But I shied away for a little while after I resigned my job, even though nobody knew why I did, my irrationally thinking addict mind thought...

    DistressedRN replied to TNPAPnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi! I'm new to TNPAP as well, started my monitoring two weeks ago, but have been clean x 118 days today (but who is counting?) I'd love to see the answer to this. So far I've only had to give one...

    DistressedRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So after months of worrying and waiting and going to inpatient treatment and IOP followup, I finally started my monitoring agreement yesterday. Of course I'm selected for a UDS my very first day. I...

    DistressedRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm headed all the way across the state to enter an inpatient 28 day treatment program for opiate addiction. My states monitoring program gave me a list of six places to choose from, all at least...

  15. How many have been arrested?

    DistressedRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I recently resigned my job in lieu of termination after being confronted with evidence of my diversion. I admitted it to my boss and immediately self reported to my states peer assistance program and...
