Have you tried nursing homes? Although many people don't want to be bothered with working in LTC, I have worked at several nursing homes in the Fort Worth area that have hired TPAPN nurses. The blunt truth is that you will probably not find one single hospital that will be willing to deal with the restrictions that revolve around a TPAPN order on one's license. Also, many employers are becoming more selective and opting to not hire TPAPN nurses due to the slumping economy. Good luck to you!

No, not if you are the only RN in the building during the night.

The TPAPN nurses with whom I've worked have either been hired to day shift or the evening shift (3 to 11, 2 to 10pm).

You can send PMs once you have accrued at least 15 posts to your name.
