  1. Tpapn RN in corpus christi

    Recovering_RN replied to symtz's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm doing home health. Went on a lot of interviews without getting a job, but home health is where I finally landed. TPAPN allows it as long as you check in with your agency in person once each day...

  2. I got a job!

    Recovering_RN replied to AntelopeTongue's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! That is great news! What job did you get? How did you bring up the monitoring

  3. Took a decongestant on the "Class B- Dr Approval Only" list

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So I've had some nasal congestion lately and took a generic brand decongestant with phenylephrine in it, then later looked at the Talbot Medication Guide on RecoveryTrek's website, and that medication...

  4. Question about TPAPN and Recovery trek

    Recovering_RN replied to verobenavRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have not but I know people who have. They went to one of those urgent care places like CareNow. I believe one woman called the number on RecoveryTrek (I'm surprised she got ahold of someone on a...

  5. Want to return to ER: is job hunting easier the second time?

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is it any easier to get a job the second time? It took me several months after I was fired and started in TPAPN to finally get a job. I was in the ER before and ended up getting a job in home health....

  6. Took a decongestant on the "Class B- Dr Approval Only" list

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I tried the saline nasal spray and it really works great so far! I'm really surprised to be honest. I don't have lots of dried gunk that's causing the congestion so I wasn't quite sure why it would...

  7. Got a job in Home Health

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    After interviewing for several ER positions and a psych position, and not getting any of those jobs, I interviewed with a home health agency and got the job. It's a small agency and they already have...

  8. have any of you left nursing

    Recovering_RN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I definitely considered leaving nursing after getting caught for diversion, but not because of the issues you mentioned. For me it was more the humiliation of what I'd done and having people I...

  9. What Exactly did you say during your interviews?

    Recovering_RN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agonized over this too! I diverted and was caught based on large number of Pyxis wastes recorded. My "story" evolved over time as I realized that no one REALLY knew exactly what happened other than...

  10. TPAPN, a UDS on Christmas?

    Recovering_RN replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Personally I think she's trying to scare you so you won't be tempted to drink or use on Christmas. But the odds are very low that you'd be tested on Christmas Day. If you are, I think you could go to...

  11. Tpapn, DFW Nurse recovery meetings?

    Recovering_RN replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know of a Dallas meeting. I'll PM

  12. Meeting attendance audited?

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for all the comments. I won't sweat it, but I won't do it again either. I agree I need to get out of the mindset of trying to get away with something. I like the group I attend, I tried 4...

  13. Meeting attendance audited?

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I finished my 90/90 and got my attendance sheet signed at every one and now I'm down to 4 meetings per week. But the last few weeks I've skipped two meetings because of family events and I just signed...

  14. Phone interview - what to say about why I left my previous job

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had my first phone interview yesterday. It was with a recruiter for a fairly large hospital system. He was really excited about my resume. I have a lot of good experience. But when he asked why I...

  15. Phone interview - what to say about why I left my previous job

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well just found out today I didn't get the job. They never even bothered to contact me either. I had to call the recruiter and ask. Oh well. It was my first interview since starting TPAPN so I'm going...

  16. Phone interview - what to say about why I left my previous job

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well the interview was rescheduled for Thursday. So two more days of stressing. But two more days of preparing myself,

  17. Phone interview - what to say about why I left my previous job

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well I am amazed but the recruiter did actually call me back! After 2 days of not hearing from him I decided to call him, even though I was sure he'd already decided I wasn't a candidate for the job....

  18. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    Recovering_RN replied to whodatme's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I haven't heard of anyone in tpapn ever going to prison or even being criminally charged. Since you're already starting your NA meetings you should start getting signatures at the meetings now. You...

  19. TPAPN- Nurse Recovery Meetings

    Recovering_RN replied to FHL18's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did you ever find a meeting for nurses in recovery? I know of one in the Dallas area but it's more of a support group to help nurses deal with tpapn issues and finding work while in tpapn or with...

  20. Taking a year off work-will that hurt chance of getting a job later?

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just started TPAPN and would like to take some time off this year before going back to work. I've got IOP for the next couple months, then the holidays after that, so I definitely don't want to go...

  21. What to expect during assessment for TPAPN

    Recovering_RN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I entered TPAPN a couple weeks ago and am scheduled for my assessment by a psychologist next week. I self referred after having a positive drug test at work and being terminated. I admit I diverted...

  22. What to expect during assessment for TPAPN

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes I guess being labeled an addict is the least of my concerns. Poor judgment is an understatement! I'm 40 years old so I can't even use being young as an excuse! I'm certainly old enough to have...

  23. What to expect during assessment for TPAPN

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    odaat, glad I could offer you some mind boggling! Yeah, I never claimed to be smart, obviously! I did something really stupid. I never did Vicodin like some people do, because I'd taken that before...

  24. What to expect during assessment for TPAPN

    Recovering_RN replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My case manager said that I wouldn't be eligible for the EEP if there were any practice violations and diverting is a practice violation. I would LOVE to qualify for the EEP! But I was under the...
