I think you miss the point. Board rules are draconian to say the least. That's what people (disciplined nurses) complain about. They desciplined a nurse who got a DWI in 1980 the same way as a nurse...
This may or may not help but I know a nurse that missed all her weekend check ins (60 or so) because they "never" test on the weekend. Nothing happened to he. She got cleared and has a legit license....
I'm sorry, I miss the point. Is this about you? Are you "the friend?" If she retired early, and drinks wine ALOT or daily then what is the issue? Is she not supposed to drink? Is she impaired and cant...
Get a lawyer ASAP. You do not want to go head on the TBON. Also, you are considered GUILTY, you will receive some for of "punishment" AKA board order. The lawyer can work it up to 1 year, otherwise if...
Get a lawyer and apply for early release. If you've already done more than 3 years they may let you out at the completion of the 4th year. And if they dont, it doesn't hurt.
Make sure the person collecting the urine handles it properly. I've seen some technicians touch the inside of the cup. That can transfer the alcohol they use on their hands to your specimen. I open...
So I went for an interview and everything went well even after revealing I am/was a dilaudid addict blah blah blah. Didn't get that place because they only needed charge capable nurses and I'm on...

If you slept with someone that did cocaine then that explains it. "They" taste a little bit orally or sublingual then snort it, whatever doesn't go down to the lungs goes up to the mouth. If you kiss...
Ask whoever is going to do the review not to recommend tpapn. I'm doing drug tests but don't have to deal with any meetings, advisor or whatever you call them. Just straight drug tests. Good
If a company doesn't want to HIRE you, why would you want to work for them. For all I know all large organizations/corporation's have a "no rehire" policy. I left my LVN position in the nursing home...

ALL disciplinary actions show up on the Nursys database and employers are using it now because it covers all compact states. With that said, as long as you're done with the disciplinary action then...
If you're current then stay in Texas, you MAY have to start all over again. I know someone from Oklahoma that moved to Texas who 2 years into his deal and current and has to do 3 whole years again....
Hello, sent you a PM. Please let me know of the place that's hiring. I have family in Denton and I'm looking for Dallas/Fort Worth employment. Not on TPAPN but can't pass narcs until Feb 2018. I do...
What do you mean by "abnormal results." I don't know about your state, but here in Texas it's just a money skim. If I were you and know that I dint used or drink, I would challenge the 6 month. If...
For narc diversion. Detox facilities in texas need 2 years verified drug test/sobriety before enployment. My investigator says any drug test I take before gaining employment as a nurse does not count...

Im in texas. I got a lawyer for 3k total. Worth every penny, I went to the dependancy evaluation and basically avoided some question so that I don't go to rehab or get referred to Tpapn, I admitted...
Can anyone point me towards any place hiring. 3 year stipulations for narc diversion, 1 year I cannot give controlled substances, need RN supervision and cannot work nights for 1 year. I would like to...
I was talking to you. Thanks for the reply, I thought you were from Texas. Good luck with your progress, I'm still waiting on board orders etc. Don't even know of my job reported it but I was fired...
