Tx BON query

Wondering if anyone can shed light on timeframe for the Texas BON. I was reported months ago for opiate addiction and all the bells and whistles that go along with it! I haven't been contacted by the board. What is the experience of other nurses from Texas on notification of investigation. I thought an immediate removal from practice or something would've occured by now.

    They will take there sweet time!!They will not remove u from practice until the investigation has been completed. They will put u on an agreed order and monitor you first most likely or order TPAPN....Then if u screw up again they can and WILL suspend ur license.

    I self reported after pleading "Nolo Contendre" to a DWI (etoh)... I wrote a letter, after 2 weeks I called in, Once I spoke to someone at the TxBON office things moved pretty fast. I was ordered into TPAPN, a case manager contacted me by mail and phone within a week. I was ordered to stop working until I was cleared to start the program. took about 4 weeks. Personally I didn't want to sit and wait, wanted to get things goings. If the got your number the storm is brewing, you may want to call the BON to check in.... Peace
