Well I reported myself to tapan after much thought process. Believe me, I didn't want to and was really conflicted about it, but I felt I could not lie when it came time to renew my liscense. Not because I'm so saintly but because I didn't want it to come back and bite me in the a__. I figured what the heck, might as well bite the bullet and get her done. Also it will help me maintain my sobriety as i really did have a alcohol/prescription problem. My nurse manager was really surprised i had a problem which made me feel a little better. I hope to have my return to work meeting this week, I am wondering how it will go when i share with my co-workers. I work in a icu and there is no way i can not give narcotics, waste drugs, not float or do charge nurse and them not know about tpapn. I've been there a while and work with a matrix pattern so i'm hoping everything will be alright.

I think for sure they will want you to do tpapn for a dwi. What i was taught in treatment is that normal people without a drinking problem don't drink and drive.

Right, but I haven't contacted TPAPN yet, do I have too?

How did you get in the EEP program. I just went to rehab for alcohol problems on my own, nothing to do with work. I'm thinking i need to self report to tpapn? Any advise....

Texas Pier Assistance Program for Nurses....I Just completed inpatient treatment for alcohol. My drinking was interfering with my marriage and my personal life. At work I was always sober, somehow I managed to not drink much the night before work. Anyways, I was in rehab for 25 days and I learned alot and have a fresh outlook and will continue with the 1 year aftercare and going to AA meetings. What I would like feedback for is the liscense renewal question... have you been treated as an inpatient for alcohol/drug abuse in the last 2-5 years? As much as I hate lying, I don't want to say yes. I feel that this is private, I sought treatment solely on my own. I feel very conflicted about this. I would appreciate any feedback or personal experiences anyone may have.

How do I get a hold of the AHCPR guidelines?
