Well I was done on day of completion

Hello, I am just reading post and saw that you were in a IPN program and I was wondering what for? I have a Dwi on my record and have the job as long as that doesn't stop me from getting it. Please lmk if you know if HCA will hire nurses with DWI in 2014. Thank you

Where about do you live? I know of a couple hospitals that hire tpapn nurses in Sherman/ Denison tx

Should nurses get malpractice insurance? Has anyone had a situation where they actually used their insurance?

I agree with nurse Beth about being honest and accepting responsibility for your past mistakes. I know of nurse who recently graduated about a year ago, he had a few criminal charges and was able to take his nclex. Also another nurse who received 2 Dwi and one while on military base and Was able to take the nclex . So I definitely think you will have a great chance. Just get letters of recommendation from peers, previous bosses, and even your rehab counselor. :) own up to your mistakes and do great in nursing school ✌🏼

Hey I am writing because I know there is a lot of discouragement for nurses on TPAPN with finding jobs. I know of two place who are willing to hire nurses on tpapn. I live in the Sherman/ Denison area in Texas, 60 miles north of Dallas. Just be honest and strong in your recovery. You can get through this. Wnj regional medical center and TMC are willing to interview and hire tpapn nurse as they both have some tpapn candidates working there. Good luck:)

Thank you for replying. Were you able to get a job in a hospital? Or at LTAC facilities or psych? I just don't know what hospitals think.

Hello, I am writing to see if anyone knows how difficult it will be to get a new job in North Texas with a DWI conviction. I'm 25 have been sober for over a year and am just worried about the future. Any positive help would be appreciated. Thank you:)

Ok thank you I appreciate you replying

Lol, I just don't know if having a DWI is a big deal on your record... I'm still young so idk if that makes any difference. I know they'll see it on my background check. I just don't know what to expect when applying is all...

I have done the rehab and everything. Like I said I've been in TPAPN for a year now.

I got a dwi and failed a drug screen at work 4 days later. This was September 2014. This both was over a year ago o have been sober for a year. I have a job at a hospital just want to maybe move to a different city and work at a hospital where low census isn't an issue. Just wasn't sure how difficult it was to get a job while on TPAPN plus a DWI on my record. Sorry for the confusion

It's not allowing me to pm you. It says I haven't actively participated in the site.

Well I am convicted for my DWI and I'm not a self referral.... I was reported 3rd party by my hospital for taking medications. When interviewing for a new job am I supposed to say what I did? I mean my restrictions are gone as in I can pass narcotics, work night, overtime and float. So I don't see how hiring. TPAPN nurse would be an issue unless they're worried I'll relapse.... I just don't know how much info I have to give out to my new potential job.

Will having a DWI that I received September 2014 affect me getting a job? I also am currently on TPAPN since October 20 2014. Both happen within a month apart but are two different situations. The Bon knows about my dwi and since I am on TPAPN I just needed to inform them. I have a job that kept me since I started TPAPN, but the hospital I work at has low census and worries me about having hours. I want to apply other places like psychiatric hospitals but just don't know what to expect since I have a dwi on my record and TPAPN ( which if you pull my name it doesn't show any Disciplinary action bc TPAPN wasnt board ordered yet, I just agreed to it)Please let me know if you know what I should expect. Thanks!
