I posted earlier tonight re: my situation where I tested positive for THC after an injury at work (I pulled a muscle, no patient care was involved). My background: RN, never been in trouble with the law, stupidly took Marinol w/o rx. I was fired from my job after testing +, and just recv'd a letter in the mail referring me to TPAPN. As you can all imagine, I have been HYSTERICAL over this, not sleeping, worrying etc..I suspect my manager report to me to TPAPN as it was not a board order. The letter basically states to call/sign up to TPAPN to avoid report to BON. This would include getting evaluated by an addiction counselor/specialist. After + test, I contacted an attorney, who basically said NOT to join TPAPN as she doesn't feel I have an addiction and that TPAPN could potentially ruin my nursing career. My questions for those who have been through similar situations: 1. Should I go along with TPAPN and get evaluated on my own w/o attorney? 2. I'm hopeful to get EEP and not TPAPN, what are my chances? 3. Should I see TPAPN counselors or find my own? Any recommendations? (Houston,Tx) Thank you all in advance.
