New tests for IPN

Nurses Recovery

Published

I posted recently that I had almost $300 of drug and blood tests in the past month. Never had this much testing since I entered Florida IPN.

I have heard different nurses being tested these past 3 weeks with additional tests. Including o-panels. 2 different test at a time $80.

It it was easier for me to afford some of drug testing in California due to better wages.

Any one one else having additional pricey tests with IPN??

how is it legal to be made to take a test that you don't know what it is for?

I know for a fact what the lab corp option 1 is and I believe questis the same ... If you Google quest medpro B (base) it is a standard 12 panel... no fentanyl Suboxone for EtG... Option 7 has the EtG as does option 8... This is my second time around with the obn and they are hammering me I've had hair nail blood and urine tests... I believe they switched from LabCorp to tap Quest because Quest will use a lower cut-off level and also they test for adulterants does LabCorp does not... I really liked when they use LabCorp because where I work contract with LabCorp and I knew exactly what all the tests were

My personal opinion for what it is worth is that legality is probably irrelevant, since we are all supposed to be so grateful for this opportunity, blah blah blah..... I don't think we have a whole lot of rights with these people other than to open our wallets every time they want money.

I got socked with those O panels on April 7th. Still shows as "partial result" If it's a send out of some sort, where did they send it, Neptune?

Ha ha ,neptune. that made me giggle. I've had an O test, maybe even 2 as of now. I'm not really concerned as to what it tests for. I skimmed through this post and, forgive me if I missed it, but have any of you simply asked either IPN directly or labcorp what exactly this test is for?

Well I got picked for a third test this month for a total of $190. Apparently the $80 test was a onr time on top of our regular 2 at $55. Another girl in my group has had the same thing this month so eveyone be prepared.

I did ask at Labcorp. The tech said she didn't know. She did comment that "everybody" was asking about and complaining about the cost.

Ok, I'm at 2 weeks waiting for a result on those O panels! I'm not doing anything I ought not but I am tired of getting fleeced for money I don't have for tests that I don't know what for by an outfit seems to have a history of carelessly ruining people and yet claimingthey are helping at the same time. What a crock of .....!
