  1. Best/worse experience in monitoring. Please advise

    Ash2213 replied to HoldenC's topic in Nurses Recovery

    One of the biggest issues is employment. I had to work in VERY unsafe conditions the first year of my 3 year contract because nowhere else would consider hiring a TPAPN nurse. Because monitoring...

  2. It's my birthday!

    Ash2213 replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Fantastic! Very happy for you. Please let us know how the ending goes.. I think I am next, less than 2 months to go, and on pins and needles waiting it

  3. How much will your employer know?

    Ash2213 replied to StanleyJ's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with Mel. A good manager will not ask. Share the bare minimum, and they really should not ask the details of what is going on with you. As long as you are compliant with monitoring, it is not...

  4. I tested positive while in recovery now what??

    Ash2213 replied to Myyep's topic in Nurses Recovery

    People can and do abuse Benadryl, but I feel like they could do a level to see the levels. Especially if you took it while sick. I agree that you should contact your doctor and get a script asap if...

  5. It's Official!

    Ash2213 replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations to you. I know from previous posts it has been a long road for you. I cannot imagine how freeing it is. I am "supposed" to be done in the next 2 months. I have been thinking that I...

  6. So much for "step down year" in TPAPN!

    Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hear ya Kel. They were doing the same thing to me in July/Aug. Now, here it is 36 days later and I haven't tested. Longest for me to go ever. If that 18 tests in the last year is true I should have...

  7. It's Official!

    Ash2213 replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations!

  8. Headaches, TPAPN.

    Ash2213 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have started having these headaches and am not sure the cause. They are getting to where they are interfering with my daily life, lasting up to a couple days, even through the night. Last night I...

  9. Headaches, TPAPN.

    Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you. Topamax is what one of my doctors at my hospital recommended to try. Appreciate your

  10. TPAPN aa

    Ash2213 replied to 1fly's topic in Nurses Recovery

    TPAPN doesn't talk to anyone in AA about your attendance. All you do is submit the forms in Affinity. There is a place to upload the hard copy if you scan it, or you can just manually enter them. Not...

  11. TPAPN RANT

    Ash2213 replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I thought I would add to this rant. I feel like TPAPN is stalking me lol. I had posted about having bad headaches a few weeks ago and fearing that I would need to go see a doctor to get on something...

  12. Still in PNAP contract expired?

    Ash2213 replied to NurseXi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel like this is terrible to do to someone. Makes my blood boil. I hope you hear something

  13. Psych unit

    Ash2213 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This sounds very much like my first job when I entered monitoring. I will be blunt here. It was terrible, dangerous and taxing. I was the day shift nurse on the pediatric unit. Behavioral health. I...

  14. Headaches, TPAPN.

    Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you all for your responses. Sometimes it is just so overwhelming being in this program. I have to remember that I am just one of probably close to a hundred of people that my CM manages. I have...

  15. Headaches, TPAPN.

    Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I see a place in Affinity to add prescriptions. Is this the new process? Do I have to fax over an entire assessment form along with an Rx for something like Imitrex?? It is in the safe drugs class A...

  16. Working PRN in TPAPN

    Ash2213 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think this is allowed but I really am not positive. Does anyone work PRN in TPAPN or other monitoring? I am way past my 12 month requirement of 64 hours per month and have 4 months left in Tpapn. I...

  17. Question for TPAPN step down people.

    Ash2213 replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Kel, after I stepped down and didn't have to submit my meetings, I found that I was less obsessed about submitting my self reports too. I actually forgot one and it was a few days late! I remember...

  18. COC Form

    Ash2213 replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What ended up happening

  19. Done, and early too!

    Ash2213 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have been wondering about this too, in regards to the sunset review. I would be on cloud nine to get out early. I believe the only reason they keep us so long is for profit. Especially those of us...

  20. COC Form

    Ash2213 replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have not had this happen, but I did have a collector accidentally check the "no" box where is asks if the temperature was within range. I sweated it for a few days but it came back negative....

  21. Done, and early too!

    Ash2213 replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh WOW! This is my dream for real. I have these fantasies that they are so backlogged with all the new TPAPNers that maybe, just maybe they will let me out early.. How amazing would that be. I am on...

  22. Will an RN lose his/her job if they pursue rehab?

    Ash2213 replied to kindheartforever19's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I truly do not understand how this is even legal. Someone, who has never broken the law, or diverted, etc., enters rehab voluntarily is reported to the BON. I find it reprehensible that this question...

  23. So much for "step down year" in TPAPN!

    Ash2213 replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hi Kel, Yes it has, for sure. But, every once in a while they will throw me a curve ball and test me pretty close together. You know how much they want to catch me doing something wrong so they can...

  24. TPAPN HELP

    Ash2213 replied to Scared-RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would keep a record of the meetings you are attending with signatures. Once you get into the program you will have to do "90 in 90" and then 4 a week for the first 2 years. These have to be...

  25. TPAPN RANT

    Ash2213 replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Kel, When I started my step down year in December the same thing happened. I was called for like 5 tests in a months time after I got the step down email. I swear, they wanted to see if I would...
