  1. TPAPN Nurses

    RNRutRO replied to joelpap1's topic in Texas Nursing

    Dear Scared, If you read thru the posts here, they go WAAAAYYYYY back. I am so sorry that they scared you. But at the time, many of us were going through OUR experiences with TPAPN. You are right...

  2. lamictal

    RNRutRO replied to tolerantgirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WOW! I was just given a Rx for this drug. I too had concerns for it being a drug for bipolar and my license. I was assured by my doctor, that it is not why he is putting me on it. I don't have...

  3. Please give me your opinion

    RNRutRO replied to menardspsychnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm a little confused. Are you clean now? The BON will more than likely want to know what you are doing, have you changed your ways, refrences from friends, family, MD of your clean time. If you have...

    RNRutRO replied to Mari96RN's topic in Home Health

    Mari96RN You say you are new to HH. Have you thought about asking if you could possible ride with another nurse and "re-orient"? My first HH job, I had a very lazy office manager that seemed to take...

  8. need to vent about my husband...sorry long.

    RNRutRO replied to SassyErRn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sassy - God love ya! I was reading what you wrote, and boy, I can see how frustrating that could be. I have to agree with Lisa, I was thinking the same thing. He sounds depressed. Maybe even has...

  9. I need some advice !!

    RNRutRO replied to Rascal1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What is MDS? Sounds strange that he didn't go over the job duties when he interviewed you, doesn't it? Ya know, there's nothing with trying it out and seeing if it's the job for you. If not, at...

  10. Unsure about make career change to HHN

    RNRutRO replied to dblaze's topic in Home Health

    Home health is a great job. I found that it was very slow going. There's a lot of medicare rules and forms to learn. Most nurses are use to doing a short orientation, then jumping in to a schedule....

  11. I need some advice !!

    RNRutRO replied to Rascal1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, I guess there is more than one way to look at it. Plus, she had emailed me personally, so that changed my thoughts too. From what I gathered, she isn't in a "program" and doesn't have all the...

  12. I need some advice !!

    RNRutRO replied to Rascal1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't worry. Peope misplace things all the time. If you interviewed a month ago, there have been several Christmas/New Year's parties, people out on vacation, etc. Don't sweat it! If it wasn't...

  13. HELP!!! Going on an interview for HH

    RNRutRO replied to chelitta's topic in Home Health

    My advice would be to look for another company. I don't know how it is in Ca, but in Texas, they do not have a good reputation. Also, might want to go to www.indeed.com and read what other's have...

  14. Home Health/ Hospice Nursing

    RNRutRO replied to rarher's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good luck! If you have any questions, PM me. I'll do what I can to help. It's hard to break down the pay per hour because some visits are short, and other's involve more time. Five pt's a day is...

  15. Home Health/ Hospice Nursing

    RNRutRO replied to rarher's topic in Texas Nursing

    I work home health and love it. Didn't think that I would, but gave it a try anyway. I've worked for three different agencies. They each had their good points and bad. First, if it's a PRN job,...

  16. ADD. and recovery ?

    RNRutRO replied to Rascal1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not sure exactly what you are asking, but I can give you my experience. I take Concerta. Took it for years. I asked my CM about if it would be fine to take while in the peer assistance program. She...

  17. Hiring "someone like you"

    RNRutRO replied to Brantine's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Brantine- I responded to you last night, but then the computer froze and I guess it didn't get posted. Basically, I said the same thing about the ADA--I think that you have enough to probably...

  18. this was a fear...and it happened

    RNRutRO replied to SassyErRn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sassy- You are young in years AND recovery, so I know the SHAME you have is overwhelming. I think that everyone who goes through recovery has the most difficult time with shame--forgiving yourself....

  19. Please help. Need job SOON!!

    RNRutRO replied to lance197728's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maxim Healthcare hires people with less than stellar reputations because they themself are "less than stellar" Someone with a "black" mark on them already, has to be above approach, and cleaner than...

    RNRutRO replied to lance197728's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nurseforatu - With ER experience and SEVEN years, I would start to wonder if it was YOU not the tpapn "thing" that was hanging over your head. I've said this a million times, WE ARE OUR WORST...

  21. what do i say?

    RNRutRO replied to SassyErRn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I noticed that you have almost 60 views and no comment, so I thought I would give you my two cents. I'm sure that your new supervisor knows the situation. They usually do. So, I would probably shoot...

  22. tpapn & urine drug screen panels

    RNRutRO replied to sicunurse38's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In the two years I was there, I was never tested for 2-6. You can "google" labcorp and the test numbers. That should tell you. Test #1 is for pretty much EVERYTHING, and then 7 is etg. So, do you...

  23. tpapn & urine drug screen panels

    RNRutRO replied to sicunurse38's topic in Nurses Recovery

    # 7 is the dreaded Etg test. I just graduated from tpapn, and only tested for that about 10 times (Never counted) Funny, my drug of choice was not alcohol. So, I didn't drink, but it scared me...

    RNRutRO replied to lance197728's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Dear Lance-- Could it be the way you "interview"? Just asking. Sometimes we are our hardest on ourselves, and when we come accross as being ashamed, worthless, etc. other's perceive us as such too....
