1. How does your BON know your working?

   sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

   Well, I am living in a very small town and can't find work. I am cuurently working as an unlicensed healthcare worker for crappy pay. I don't know what to do. I am actually thinking of just giving up my license and going back to school to do somethin...

2. False positives??

   sl33y replied to sissiesmama's topic in Recovery

   Well, I can tell you, after working in laboratory settings for over 7 years, that IA drug screens are NOT 100% accurate. That is why there is confirmation on non-negative tests with GC/MS (which is 99.9%) accurate. If I were you I would call the lab ...

   What is a "dh"??

4. How does your BON know your working?

   sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

   I am not chancing it, because I won't do what I am asking. I just find it interesting that I doubt the BON would know where or if you are working unless you tell them. As far as unemployment, you have to fill out a pretty long application and it gets...

   Just curious... I recieved a letter stating I can return to licensed RN work but they need to have all the employer info first. How would they even know if I was working or not if I don't send them the info?? THX

7. I need help and a have a few questions...

   sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

   Just wanted to say hello to everyone and I am doing VERY well! Still haven't heard of anything from DEA/legal problems (wheeew!). I am starting to come to peace with what happened and I hope to return to nursing in a couple of months:) THANKS EVERYON...

8. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

   sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

   Thanks for the kind words! I am really thinking a lot about going back to school (for IT, my other true love). I am still active in my recovery and am going to stay that way- with PA's VRP or not! I will give the drug testing until January and if it ...

9. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

   sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

   Quick update... I have been tested twice in the past 5 days. Ugh. I don't think I will be able to keep my license - I don't have $300/month to spend on drug tests. AND, trying to get a hold of my case manager is really disappointing. I leave messages...

    sl33y replied to SassyErRn's topic in Recovery

    Please PLEASE do take someone that is in recovery with you if you go! I know you may think you'll be good and won't dring but our disease of addiction can throw intellect and logic right out the window. If you have a friend in AA/NA or someone that r...

11. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

    Thanks for all the replies! I guess I'm looking at $100 - $150 per month. That sucks. I can't believe it costs almost as much to collect the specimen as it does for the lab to run it! I worked in lab settings for ~7 years and all they do for IA tests...

    Just wanted to know how often you get selected for testing. I am really short on money and need to budget an amount for these random drug screens. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    sl33y replied to sl33y's topic in Recovery

    Hey, everyone! Things are going well - I just started outpatient tx and am going to 2-3 NA meetings per week. I also got a job offer doing PCT work in a Dialysis center, so I guess I'll have some income while I go through the early recovery process a...
