Help what is regulation of drug screen???

[jfox01]

After having a pt crack my ribs at work i had to take a drug screen. Unfortunately it was positive for THC a very small amount. (30/ng/dl) i am being turned over to a program (IPN) within my hospital that treat impaired nurses. I have never had a problem and had a slip a few weeks ago.I was not accused of being impaired at any time and my boss wants me back ASAP. This program in putting me into a two year monitoring of toxicology, counseling, assessment by a physiologist , meetings, it is ridiculous. Im not saying that some people may need this program but i do not. All of this is at my expense and im off of work until the initial assessment is completed. Problem im having is after speaking with this company they will not give me any info until i am already in the contract. If i do not do this program they turn me over to BON and i lose my job. If i hire a lawyer i will lose my job but not my license. I just need to know if anyone has ever been in this situation and what they may have done. IPN sounds like for two years i will lose my life.I cannot even have a drink on my birthday because if by chance im tested ( and they do hair follicle) im non compliant. I dont have the money for a lawyer, but am also looking at large bill from IPN. Is there an amount that is not re-portable to the BON Thoughts anyone???? thanks in advance.

I am from florida.any insight will help. Learning that bin will be notified and could come at anytime .... How does anyone make it through 5 years and ..how many times do they find another reason to keep you in the program? I worry about the policy on deluted urine..Everytime I have ever done a urine my creatine was messed up. I may need to get this looked at before I sign and find out why...I don not delute have no reason- I'm worried about a kidney issue

I think you should make a new thread with your state of Florida in the title (in the recovery forum) to get more replies from nurses in your state.
