PLEASE KEEP SMART UNNECESSARY COMMENTS TO YOURSELF

Long story short, can I fight the DOH , I had a pos THC while still in school applying for a job not related. PRN hit me with an unnecessary contract for 2 years at my school which is supposed to be a monitor a quarterly reporter says it's BS and has never heard of this situation for students behind desk !  and this is coming from the dean. is it easier to get a lawyer to get out of this? or should I challenge the Dept of health if reported if they even report me? I still have to test to get into clinical rotations I still have to test to get out of the program. I need advice this is killing me and I've been testing negative, I'm still in school with a training license haven't even reached clinical yet and they are draining my pockets I need to know if has anyone been in this situation or have advice as to a step could make.

Someone in my group is in pharmacy school, their test in pharmacy school was positive and that's why they have a contract. They aren't even a licensed pharmacist yet

You want a lawyer to give you the name of an approved person to say you don't have a substance use disorder.  The monitoring agreement can be a lot more involved depending on your location. It's expensive and awful.  My biggest regret is not getting a lawyer.

I'm pretty much in the same situation I've contacted lawyers and they believe that cause its 2 years, it is cheaper to just deal with PRN but I'm in hell and it will cost almost the same as fighting. but the outcome is unknown

IDK if you signed a contract, it may not be so simple. I think there is no harm in consulting a lawyer, but it is harder when you have already signed an agreement (presuming that is what happened because you are getting tested). In my state, there was a nurse who fought the order and the court ruled in favor of the BON. They give a lot of latitude to state boards in these cases.
