Thinking about moving to TX/TPAPN

IPN forbidding you to practice in another state doesn't mean you need reciprocity to move into a state that's within the eNLC. You just need to contact IPN and let them know you'd like to move to Texas and see if they'll allow you to participate in an "out-of-state" contract with TPAPN. IPN will then send quarterly reports to TPAPN to let them know you're meeting all of IPN's requirements.

Supposedly, and I say this only half sarcastically, you can live out of state and maintain an IPN contract but it’s highly unlikely that you’d be able to work. IPN participants are restricted to a single state license and Texas would probably not license you while under the auspices of a monitoring program in another state.
I have seen people live OOS and have thier contract extended for not meeting the 12 months of nursing employment stipulation. I’ve also seen people get dumped from the program for having moved OOS because they could not find a job with the IPN shackles on them. It seems to go whichever direction they feel like it, IE...no real rules.

Based on my experience and what Is/was in the participant manual (there is a few lines in there, if I recall correctly) you would have to straight up transfer in to the Texas program. Wether the parameters of your contract would stay the same, i dont know.
The ease of this getting done, I do think depends on who your case manager is and how helpful they are willing to be. In my time, I had a pretty adversarial relationship with mine. Not sure she’d give water if I was on fire....lol.

Sending some emoji water your way, Cats! We won’t let you burn !!

ahhh...I survived IPN and her. They can"t touch me now. I'm done and out.

The adversarial thing started when i started standing up for myself. Somewhere in there I decided i was not going to become another statistic. I played their little games and did my part of a program that I never should have been in to begin with and I made it very clear that I expected the same in return. I expected them to not lie, BS and to adhere to their own contract.

Somewhere around year 3ish, I ceased being afraid of them and started being annoyed at their appalling behavior and that my friends is way more dangerous.

My plan would be to move to Texas and make that my main state of practice.
