Failed screening

Published

Not sure where to begin, I got into this program almost a year ago and have had 3 positive screenings for opiates, please don't come after me. Was curious what the ASBN will do about this, I'm willing to do whatever, I just need some reassurance here. This is my first time posting on this forum. I have read hours upon hours of topics on here, not hardly slept and just disgusted with myself. Thinking it would be better just to surrender my license then to face the board. Has anyone ever had to deal with being kicked out of monitoring? I am single and have no real family to help me and I'm gonna loose everything without a job. Thanks for reading.

Can I get highlights in my hair? Make up? 

That's wild that those things could cause positive.

You can get highlights in your hair. In fact you can have all the hair on your head colored as only the folicular tag (living part of hair) is used in a folicle test. You could rinse your hair in beer and it wouldn't matter. What does matter is consuming alcohol or other banned substances. Also where alcohol based hand sanitizers are concerned you have to use a lot and the positives mostly occur when the fumes are metabolized inthe lungs from inhalation of aerosolized particles.
