@ bl lvn im in good standings with EEP right now and plan to stay so till i finish 7/13' do you think BON will put me in TPAPN when i disclose to them my recent DWI when i renew my license in May? I do not have a substance abuse disorder. I was put in EEP because of marijuana that came up on a pre-employment UA when I graduated May 11'. I decided to drink for the first on 8/31/12 time since enrolling in EEP 7/13/12 because i though i was going to get away with a drink, which i did get away with relating to EEP program.

if your alcohol problem is enough to get in the way of your nursing work, your peers will see it and refer you..but if that hasnt happen yet, do your best rehabing your self through community AA and other programs

DONT DO IT!!! do your best on rehab and AA meetings but DO NOT report yourself. there are too many cons too TPAPN from just reading about others experience even though it is possible to get through it i got into the EEP program because i was not practicing nursing at the moment of positive drug screen so i did not have to enter TPAPN. i am currently in good standings with EEP but just got a DWI last friday..im expectiing to being ordered to TPAPN when i renew my license in may and BON finds out about my DWI =/

thanks! are you working again yet? what happens when you get selected during scheduled work hours?

Are involved in TPAPN or EEP? What after hours places are you speaking of? Thanks!!!

I'm about to join the Extended Evaluation Program, a step down program of TPAPN. EEP is confidential with no work restrictions if compliant for 12 months if all goes right. EEP states that the frequency of random drug screens are 1-3 per month, so I guess don't feel too bad. I know this doesn't help much but at least you know you're not alone =/. How is it going for you? Job? Are you still stressed? I have some questions about where RecoveryTrek allows participants to submit specimens. I am a dialysis nurse that works 6a-10p at times, where would I go if I get selected on days I work? I lose sleep thinking about this whole situation. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am a acute dialysis nurse in Houston, TX that has been referred by TX BON to join TPAPNs step down program of Extended Evaluation Program for a positive pre-employment drug screen I took June 2011. Extended Evaluation Program requires 18 minimum random drug screens within a 12 month period. No AA or therapy meetings like TPAPN. No work restrictions and totally confidential if compliant. I have questions for anyone in this program or in TPAPN. I work as a acute dialysis nurse. My hours varies from 6am-10pm. - What happens if I selected for my random drug screen on a day that I work? I can always leave during lunch to go do my drug screen but I want to avoid that so my employer does not find out about my situation. - Are there any 24 hour collections anywhere in Houston? Thanks for any help!
