The Texas Peer Assistance Program for Nurses (TPAPN) is seeking experienced mental health nurses to support participants in its program as Case Managers. Our program is growing and we’re adding case managers to help us support Texas nurses.

Case Managers support nurses who have an identified substance use or mental health condition to allow them to continue practice nursing safely. Case Managers provide support, monitoring, accountability, and advocacy to nurses participating in the program.

· Providing guidance to participants regarding program requirements

· Serving as a resource person and consultant on substance use and mental health conditions in nurses

· Collaborating with other Case Managers and TPAPN team members in order to provide excellent service to participants
