Graduated 12/2017 wasn’t able to take NCLEX until released from LSBPNE which was 03/2018 due to some criminal charges I got as young adult trying find my way . License place on probation for 2 yrs , random drug testing every month sometimes 2/3 drug screens a month , quarterly evaluation! So from 3/2018 till now had nothing but negative drug screens til recently I was selected to test on the 24th which is now my 3rd drug test this month. results in on 27 “diluted urine” how?! I did nothing differently than I would do any other day! I drink nothing but water but not a lot maybe 4 bottles in. 24hr day! But this particular day I had only gotten to 2 and a energy drink got off work a little atfer 3 pm headed straight to testing center which is 30 miles away supplied my urine sample. Clear yellow as usual for me! Now 28 here, I check in. BOOM ? im selected again for urine drug screen. Have not yet got those results back. Monday morning MRO called informed my drug screen was diluted but no abnormal substance found just abnormal creatinine levels 15 and I normally been testing with 19! So instructed me what I should and should not do on selected days to prevent future diluted urine. So now the waiting game has begin to find out what the Louisiana Nursing board going to do with my license! Have anybody ever had this issue please reply I’m nervous reck right now!!?

It was like the energy drink that effected your test. had t ogive them up completly while in the program. On days when I knew I was testing I would drink about 16 ounces of water in the last half of my workday. I would also eat plenty of protein during the day.
