  1. TPAPN and Peth test

    TexasMel posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know TPAPN can use the Peth test but does anyone have first hand knowledge of them actually using it? I'm almost done... about a month left in my contract. Whoo hoo I have a large purchase I am...

  2. And just like that... it's over.

    TexasMel posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

  3. And just like that... it's over.

    TexasMel replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Honestly, I never had a false positive. I used hand sanitizer every day and soy sauce with Chinese food. BUT, I also never did a Peth test. Mine were all urine. I feel... If you're clean, you can...

  10. Entering inpatient rehab today...good vibes please

    TexasMel replied to DistressedRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I, too, left behind my babies when I went inpatient. Best decision I ever made. Unlike you, I was unable to stay clean on my own and needed to go inpatient to quit. I wish you the best of luck. It...

  11. Seriously?! Grrrr.

    TexasMel posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just need to complain for one second... why do I always get picked to test on my day off?! I have 3 small children, 2 of which I have to get watched now so I can go pee in a cup. The oldest is in...

  12. Trying to find work

    TexasMel replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I started my job hunt, I only applied to restriction/monitoring friendly places. As suggested above, the SNF/LTC and dialysis route. I only applied to 2 places and landed a job in dialysis. Do...

  13. Past DUI

    TexasMel replied to mosweetp's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, after reading and being a part of this group I realized how rare it was to NOT have to do TPAPN from that DWI. Jokes on me though... cause I'm in TPAPN now.

  14. Past DUI

    TexasMel replied to mosweetp's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in Texas and did a declaratory statement to the BON here prior to getting my license in 2011. The DWI was from 2007. The BON had no problem with letting me sit for my exam. No monitoring...

    TexasMel replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    í ½í±† This is my biggest fear. The first day of my period is out of control. And I get tested by a dude. He's going to have to deal with it one day soon, I'm

  16. GI lab?

    TexasMel replied to stickybun's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have a good friend who works in a GI clinic and I was asking her about possibly getting a job there. She said there are controlled substances on site (I forgot what kinds she told me) but the RNs...

  18. TPAPN cost of drug testing

    TexasMel replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That is what happened to me. Payed $55 to Spectrum. Went to test and they wanted their $20 fee on the spot. I thought the $55 included the site fee already but apparently not. So, one test cost me...

  19. Who, at your job, knows about your monitoring status?

    TexasMel posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    So, I recently got a job in dialysis. I had the work agreement meeting with them and my TPAPN advocate where we signed all the necessary paperwork and such. (My case manager couldn't do it for some...

  20. TPAPN Affinity NONSENSE

    TexasMel replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ash2213: I think we may have the same new CM. I lost track of what number I'm on... 3, 4, who knows. It does make me a little nervous that she is only a LSW and not a nurse. I'm just hoping to have...

  21. Who, at your job, knows about your monitoring status?

    TexasMel replied to TexasMel's topic in Nurses Recovery

    THANK YOU! I sat in that meeting feeling so shamed. I knew that policy couldn't possible be right... 'tell everyone because she can't be trusted'. Ugh! My advocate is a nice lady but she is NOT in...

  22. To call or not to call...

    TexasMel posted a topic in Nurses Recovery
