Hi
I feel sorry that TPAPN is the only thing required for this office.
I never knew what TPAPN was in Texas.
other then time consuming it was nothing than what I thought it would be.
I completed a year and half of drug screens along with aa meeting once a week that became offered online due to COVID.
I also Was required an actual psychiatrist and counselor.
I asked to be released from it and it was granted.
my only requirement Now is the supervision and any health provider to monitor my mental health.
it was easy to do I thought however the drug screens was costly.
im only required to work with another lvn and that is how it was before. I just had to not be an out of control brat however when your dealing with your own family that can be it’s own challenge.
I was very relieved of the psychological evaluations and how this works with the tbon.
I said a lot of horrible things To the board however saying and doing is two separate areas.
I’m interested in knowing more about this entire process however I feel who wouldn’t do anything in their power to comply with this office.
I hope others find there way along.
in Closing all I know is Texas allows you to work with this office and living in another state/ or two.
good luck PALS

Hey congrats on graduating from TPAPN!! I am about to start. What do you mean by they allow you to participate in that program while living in another state?? My probation orders say I have to work for one year in Texas and do all the drug screens for as long as they determine, however I really do not want to move my daughter out of New York since she loves her school and her classmates, I was hoping I could finish my year of work in Texas and return to NY to be with my daughter, maybe I can do the drug screens from NY?
