In need of knowledge!!!

Okay, first I just want to ask that this doesn't be turned into a debate, and please don't bash me. And I thank anyone who posts to this.

Here's my story,

My mother is in the end stages of Alzheimers, she is losing the ability to swallow and I had to make a very difficult decision. I decided not to do a feeding tube for her. This has been very stressful for me to deal with and I did the dumbest thing I could've ever done. I smoked some pot. Now I know that there's really no excuse but I just wanted to give you a little bit of background. I smoked some over the weekend and they did a test on Tue.

I don't know if it will help anything or not but I plan on talking to my program director and just basically confessing to her. Someone told me that if you come up dirty on a test, that you get expelled...which I fully expect, and that you are placed in a registry and can not get back into nursing school for 7 years. What I need to know is how true this is. Is it possible to have options?, Second Chances? I am not a regular user, I just royally screwed up!!! Again, thanks for any response.

Again, thank you all for the support!! It isn't going to be an easy time for me right now but I know my mother is somewhere watching over me and my family. As far as the "pot" thing, I did talk to the director and she said that if it comes back dirty, they will do another test as a benifit of the doubt sort of thing and she said we will talk about then. So, I am praying that everything goes right...I haven't smoked any and I'm not going to...I never want this to be something that could destroy my dreams again. I am certainly thinking about counseling because I realize I don't know the right ways to deal with things. Jennie, I really enjoyed that poem and I am thinking about reading at my mom's memorial service. I really do appreciate everyones support here.
