I stumbled onto a website called Health Line Defense and discovered that the Travis County Medical Society does have a Caduceus meeting that is for physicians primarily but is open to other health care professionals such as nurses. I am going to cal...

I can't believe I forgot today and now it's too late. Does anyone know what the consequences are with TPAPN ? This week has been awful.

My completion date is April 16, 2015. I finally feel normal. I have a job I love and am in a completely different place. When I first logged on in this forum I was a mess.. If I can do this, anyone can do this...

Maybe I am still overly sensitive but I attended a new AA meeting and left feeling offended. Actually, I don't know if offended is the right word, however I did not feel good about the meeting or myself. Here's what happened. It was a small meetin...

Ok well I stand corrected but I don't understand why anyone would settle and pay for an education from a school that is not invested in having accreditation.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it is my understanding that most hospitals will not let you work if your are taking oxycodone and Valium for chronic pain right? There is a post on in general nursing forum about this. The OP is a nursing student applyin...

I could not agree more. That is the most frustrating part of my job as a hospital LC.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I'm in Texas. VBACs are never induced, it's contraindicated per hospital policy. They have to do it on their own or get sectioned. As far as push back, I'm sure that they don't like it but it's the rules and if they complain, their told they can pr...

My thoughts exactly....

Hi, Looking for any nurses in Austin or San Antonio area. I am struggling with finding peers for support. I am in tpapn, almost 6 months sober. Would love to be able to talk with someone in the nursing profession. I often feel disconnected in AA mee...

I'm wondering why you can't see your test results? Mine are posted the same day that they are reported.

I have had no problem. I actually like the online ability to do reports. It's safe.

If you want to work in ob, many places ARE requiring that you have NRP along with BLS before you are hired. They now treat it the same as requiring BLS before you are allowed to work on your own time and expense.

There is a urologist in my town named Richard Chopp. Everybody calls him Dick.

My nursing school professor named her son Tiger....her last name was Lyon. A classmate in highschool was named Candace Apple.(candy apple). I think she's a stripper now

I was pregnant my last year of nursing school. It wasn't planned, I also already had a two year old. I didn't worry about the possible problems that could have arisen, such as pregnancy complications. I was having contractions during my graduation...

Here is my question. HR is asking me to share my TPAPN info with them. I'm concerned that this information will be stored with my file long after I complete TPAPN. Is HR supposed to have this ? According to TPAPN, any information regarding TPAPN i...

I was offered a job in my specialty today. Just have to wait to get approval from TPAPN. I talked to my case manager who is very nice by the way. He seemed to think that it would be approved. It's PRN, however I will be able to get a minimum of 16...

It's official. TPAPN approved the position. I'm going in today to meet with director to complete TPAPN paperwork. I feel very fortunate to have found a job on only my second job application. I am very grateful and I am going to work very hard and...

My son is getting married next April and he wants to have a destination wedding. I have heard that TPAPN will accommodate travel, however this will be a destination where there will not be a place to test. I'm going to call my CM today but thought I...

FYI I spoke to CM about travel to a place where drug testing is not available. I was told that I have to fill out online request through recovery trek and allowances will be made to suspend testing for a few days while at my son's wedding. My CM wa...
