Stay AWAY from Maxim! In fact, run, run as fast as you can. They care NOTHING about their nurses. Sorry Commuter, but I have to strongly disagree with you on this. I have first hand experience with...

Sib5- Since you are having surgery tomorrow, is there anyway that your MD will write you a Rx for Soma? Then you can say that you've taken it in the past and that your MD gave it to you? Just...

Murph- What gives? Are you having a hard time finding a job? Need some advice? I agree TPAPN is NOT fun, but it's doable. And "yes" it's harder to find a job, but I found one and so have other's...

Sib5- Was it a drug that you can get over the counter? If so, I don't see what the problem was. Might want to get an attorney who is has knowledge about the specifics in TEXAS about your situation....

Vickie- If it's your lifelong dream, some way it will work out. I collected overdue accounts with my small kids in the car (not the smartest thing looking back) to go to school. You are going to have...

I'm so glad that you "forgive" me. I didn't ask for you to do that. But I see how you think you are in the position to do that-- And I did reread your post, and several other's that you have...
RNRutRO replied to 1964RNfromTX's topic in Texas Nursing
Well Knoodsen, I guess you are right. Our profession has very low standards if it has a nurse who has NO compassion and makes such a "general" comment. :madface:What a dumba** thing to say! Are you...

Hey Hippychic--tried to send you a PM, but it wouldn't work. Sucks that you got referred to TPAPN, but, don't dwell on it. Just smile and nod. It's a lot at first, don't make yourself stand out, and...

So, what did you do? Did you fight it? Did you do TPAPN. I see this questions about TPAPN, but never see an update, or what someone did. I too am in a simular situation and wanted to know. Please...
RNRutRO replied to Spookshowbaby's topic in Texas Nursing
So, what did you do? Did you join TPAPN or fight it? And what was the outcome. I decided to join TPAPN, but wonder if it was the right choice. Let us know. Hope it's all working out for you...
