  1. Cost of Eval for TPAPN

    rn1965 replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey-- If you are still interested, I found someone (the cheapest) and it is $750. They are on the TPAPN approval list. PM me if you would like the name. Trust me, I emailed nearly EVERY SINGLE...

  2. Tpapn weekends

    rn1965 replied to Oldpro1985's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am getting ready to be enrolled for TPAPN. I sure hope weekends are not restricted. I cannot imagine there are many hospital/LTC, etc that do not require nurses to work weekends. I am aware...

  3. What does my future hold?

    rn1965 replied to TravelingRN21's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only advise I have is to stick with your attorney and let him/her handle info and communications with your BON. Also, seek the treatment you need (if needed) and DO NOT DISCLOSE to them you are a...

  4. ANYONE ELSE IN TEXAS???

    rn1965 replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in TX and will be required to do TPAPN. I am awaiting my permanent license to get everything started. I know it will be a long road. Been sober 15 years, so I am hoping they do not recommend...

  5. TPAPN Success Story

    rn1965 replied to TexTPAPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for your honesty. Sorry you were roped into a program with no real proof of wrongdoing. I have heard that a few times in this forum. I am just finishing up my 80 clinical hours on my temp...

  6. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    rn1965 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I call the MD Dr._______ unless they ask me to call them by their first name. Years ago, I worked on an antepartum unit and all the physicians wanted to be addressed by their first names only. In...

  7. Board order - great news!!!

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hopefully because you are now under a "board order" the AG will leave you alone. If they contact you again, tell them to call your lawyer! This is such good news for

  8. After evaluation..

    rn1965 replied to owt1225's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congrats! That sounds like a pretty good contract. Things are looking up for

  9. Help a year later and I am still obsessing about my med error

    rn1965 replied to Nurse1102's topic in Emergency

    Think of the amount of energy you are spending worrying about this situation. It is very likely, since the pt had no long term effects, they are not thinking about it. Do as other posters have...

  10. Discussing salary with co workers

    rn1965 replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that one should discuss pay. I see nothing wrong with it and employers who make a huge deal of it, or say it is not allowed, are usually trying to hide something. It helps when it comes...

  11. Board order - great news!!!

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations on this and your continued sobriety. I am very happy for you. I know waiting that 3.5 years was rough, but, look at the outcome! Great work,

  12. In Professional Healthcare Monitoring Program

    rn1965 replied to Kira4357's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations!

  13. Completed LVN Probation, now applying for RN licensure (Application Denied)

    rn1965 replied to tralnurse4support's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This just blows me away that you would have to do ANY probation or monitoring again. You paid your dues via the legal system, you paid via your LVN license and now, you MAY have to pay your dues...

  14. Receiving my proposal via email next week!

    rn1965 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have been waiting a very long time, as well, to "get this show on the road". I am a bit different, as my license from a previous state was revoked, and I applied for endorsement in a new state....

  15. Random, eh?

    rn1965 replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WHAT?!?!?! That is ridiculous. I mean, talk about over kill. That would certainly overlap! I bet your wallet was screaming for help those two

  16. New BSN in Michigan w/ Dual-Diagnosis (pre-licensure)

    rn1965 replied to K. Everly's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am not in your situation (either dual diagnosis or pre-NCLEX), however, I am not sure that waiting for the BON to force you into something is a good idea, if it means that it will leave a permanent...

  17. Peth test

    rn1965 replied to Rnbsn3089's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, as long as you are not on a monitoring contract/board order, even if they found traces of alcohol, that shouldn't be something to be worried about. Alcohol is not illegal and I am not sure that...

  18. fresenius dialysis and misdemeanor

    rn1965 replied to nurse.etc's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations and thank you for the follow up. It helps for those like me, who will soon be starting a job

  19. Random, eh?

    rn1965 replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I, too have nothing to fear, as I have been sober 14 years. However, the cost is what hinders me a little bit!

  20. re-entry after years away need advice

    rn1965 replied to tracylj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you plan to stay in Texas, don't even bother with NH. Like I explained, my ORIGINAL license was AZ, and now, I am about to have my TX one (with monitoring, of course, and a perm mark on my...

  21. Random, eh?

    rn1965 replied to KatmamaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am sure there is NOTHING random about the testing. 37 days, huh?! Great work!

  22. terminated for drug diversion

    rn1965 replied to sbonthrowaway's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get an attorney -- and fast -- have them guide you through this. I am glad you are mentally in a better place now. I would also get a drug screen, the sooner, the better, to show you are not using....

  23. Failed drug screen before ever utilizing license

    rn1965 replied to NicoleDime's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately, yes, it was handled as per your state board rules. It does not matter that you had not even worked as a nurse. Read through this forum and you will see people with DUI's on their...

  24. Non-negative drug screen

    rn1965 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maybe it is due to your menses that it read invalid??? I really have no idea. Don't give up! I have seen some articles mention a false positive while on your period, but, I do not know for certain....

  25. One year left...

    rn1965 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Of course....sorry! Enjoy
