  1. Finding Work on a Clean License

    TIMFY replied to RNigothis's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have to disclose that you're in the program in the first place? I'm guessing your employer has to do evals? If you have to tell them you're in a program, I would disclose why. If you can just...

  2. Anyone allowed to stay on pain management on TPAPN?

    TIMFY replied to ApriLRNTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I absolutely agree with you that it is not the norm. But it can happen. I was disagreeing with you stating, "It's not going to happen. You will be required to stop taking it". You are speaking in...

  3. Anyone allowed to stay on pain management on TPAPN?

    TIMFY replied to ApriLRNTX's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You really shouldn't speak on things that you know no nothing about. OP-feel free to PM me. I, too, was worried about starting TPAPN d/t being in pain management as everything I found online...

  4. Lyrica, Neurontin, Antihistamines will get you in trouble

    TIMFY replied to NurseJackie69's topic in Nurses Recovery

    my program made it very clear that we weren't to take anything without a script.

  5. Affinity Testing Process

    TIMFY replied to Smit5292's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Most labs have normal 8-5 hours but you can usually pay more and go to an urgent

  6. Texas BON Steps

    TIMFY replied to RN_0211's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The waiting is the worst part! I think it was about 6 months from the time I was reported to the time the BON reached out. I self enrolled in TPAPN (or was voluntold by my lawyer 😝) so I had...

  7. Recov Trek/Affinity Test Codes Mean Nothing

    TIMFY replied to NurseJackie69's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Mine never did, but I'm sure if varies by

  8. Pre-employment THC

    TIMFY replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah but why would she be negative? It sounds like this just happened if the MRO hasn't called her (which honestly, not sure if they would or not since it isn't federally legal ie they won't care if...

  9. Pre-employment THC

    TIMFY replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How is another positive urine/nail/hair test going to help

  10. Stipulations

    TIMFY replied to Attorney's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did you have a question or no

  11. Kentucky Board KARE

    TIMFY replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Probably not unless you are truly innocent. I was not. LOL He was "only" like $3,000 though and handled all communication with the board so unsure if he did more behind the scenes than I thought he...

  12. Completed VA HPMP... Have Questions? Let me know!

    TIMFY replied to Recovering RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What's worse is the lab resulting it as positive on Christmas Eve but your CM being off until the day after Christmas and being unable to review it/change it to "prescription positive". Longest...

  13. Kentucky Board KARE

    TIMFY replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel like it went pretty quick (a week or two) for me? My lawyer actually had me fill out the fit to work thing before I entered the program so my license was suspended for like 3 hours LOL I will...

  14. Open formal complaint, Michigan questions

    TIMFY replied to Blinkyvx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Probably varies by state and case but my evaluator actually painted me in a much better light than I would have & recommended 2 years and I got 3 which was the max at the time (I believe it is 5...

  15. Open formal complaint, Michigan questions

    TIMFY replied to Blinkyvx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Agree with all of this. I waited almost 2 years to enroll and I so wish I would have started ASAP. Partially because I would have been done earlier and partially because I managed to get into more...

  16. Texas Probation

    TIMFY replied to Attorney's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm surprised you got the plasma job, my CM rejected it when I was in monitoring 😅 Where in Texas are

  17. TPAPN but live and work in OK

    TIMFY replied to NurseDoc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This, you had 60 days to change your primary state of residence once you moved. Here is a link. I imagine you'd just change your residency and do Oklahoma's program, but I'm not sure....

  18. Needing surgery in Recovery

    TIMFY replied to gandorx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Probably varies by state but it was a non-issue for me. I didn't tell them I had surgery until after (although I think I was supposed to tell them before) and just sent them the anesthesia record and...

  19. Spectrum Compliance/Affinity

    TIMFY replied to Keke2123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Option 2 & 3 where always negative (not prescription positive) for me and I was on quite a few prescriptions that usually showed up. I think one may be just etg but I don't remember why I think...

  20. Are you allowed controlled medications while you work?

    TIMFY replied to Sam_0896's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in Texas & I was allowed multiple controlled substances while working/in

  21. Last 8 weeks testing

    TIMFY replied to Nursinggirl17's topic in Nurses Recovery

    that is a little insane LOL what state, if you don't mind

  22. Abuse of prescribed med

    TIMFY replied to Casey09876's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That sounds like it would be somewhat hard to prove? although I guess you could be prescribed pain medicine and be impaired at work. I'm more hung up on the "misuse"

  23. Does probation always mean nurse license suspension?

    TIMFY replied to NurseMarplay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was on probation and he did advise me to self enroll but I did not (and then was board ordered to

  24. APRN seeking employment after being reported to NPDB for substance use disorder

    TIMFY replied to crna05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is not, it is in Texas 😞 but feel free to PM me if you want any other

  25. MAT. TPAPN. BON
