How can I fix my mistake of doing drugs while trying to get into a CNA program?

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Please, help me out with this terrible mistake I've made.

I'm trying to become a CNA and all I have to do to start the program is drop off my physical examination plus PPD test results.

CNA classes start at the beginning of every month.

I've been smoking pot, and while I don't smoke it for recreational purposes, but as a way to self medicate, I'm aware this is not the right thing to do. Weed helps me with my social anxiety, a lot. I've decided that I don't want to go down this path, and I'd like to get my life together and deal with my anxiety with exercise and meditation.

I just don't know what to do at this point. I'm estimating that it could take 30 days for THC not to show up on a urine test.

If I was to start the program in October, the THC would probably be out of my system by the time I'm done the program. The program lasts 30 days.

I'm just so concerned because:

1) I'm not entirely sure THC won't show up in my urine after 30 days. There ae way to many factors to consider.

2) What if I get drug tested right before starting the program?

Please guys, help me think this through because I don't know what to do at this point.

I don't want to show up to my first day of the program and get drug tested b.c i know I will fail, but I don't want to ask the staff whether I will get tested upon arrival because that sounds suspicious.

What should I do? I've made a mistake and I need a way out.

Thanks in advance.

I was never drug tested before the start of my program. However, most companies will drug test you before hiring you and you should stay away from drugs during your course regardless, so quitting now will only benefit you in the long run. Best of luck and go see a professional to treat your anxiety.
