I just graduated with my BSN. Originally the Texas BON had ordered me to take part in the TPAPN program once I graduated because of a couple legal infractions from 11 and 6 years ago. The charges were possession of Adderall (expired prescription) and a DUI. This morning my attorney and I sat before the BON at a Disciplinary and Eligiblity hearing. The goal was to have the TPAPN order amended to something with less restrictions. After I presented my case they agreed that I don't fit the mold for a TPAPN participant and all the restrictions that go along with it. I basically just have to agree to 2 years of random drug screenings and take a jurisprudence course online. I assume that the drug screenings are exactly the same as the ones that someone in TPAPN has to consent to. I know that initially I have to call in every weekday morning in order to see if I have to go give a urine sample. So here are my questions.
- Will I have to call in every weekday morning for the entire 2 years?
- I understand that at first I'll be giving 3-4 urine samples weekly. Will this ever become less frequent?
- Although I will abstain from alcohol, will it be possible that they make me give a sample on a weekend or holiday? I'm concerned about going out of town and things like this.
- How much time do I have to give a urine sample from the time of the phone call?
I'm hoping someone on TPAPN can help shed some light on this for me. Thanks.
