No leads to offer, but did just want to send you some encouragement. I was in the TPAPN program for mental illness reasons about 5 years ago and it was a rough couple of years. It was especially frustrating to have an interview going well only to see the face of the interview drop when you disclose the stipulations. That being said, it was completely worth it to push through it. I'm so glad to still be nursing now.
I ended up finding a job with a small private practice. They appreciated my honesty and valued my previous experience. It also helped that I interviewed with the office manager, not the doctor. She went to bat for me because she liked me. I didn't make as much as I did at a hospital, but it was a great way to keep working and I value the experience I had there. Smaller practices can make their own rules, so any issues with license stipulations may be accommodated, so it may be worth putting your time and effort into similar settings.
Best of luck.
