Initial Drug Test

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello,

I have a question, I'm finishing up nursing school and I was drug testing for a possible position but I failed for THC, I had not smoked for 6 months and didn't think I would come out positive but unfortunately I did, it was for 30nanograms and the test limit is 15, not like it matters, but my question is, is this drug test going to get back to my school and the Board of Registered Nursing? I'm in California, what are my options? Is this going to mark the rest of my career?

It was actually a mistake, it was from a vape pen I didn't know had weed in it, which is why I didn't think I would be positive for it it was all weird, but anyway I don't need to explain myself to anyone not like you've never made mistakes, and I said thanks for your judgement I didn't say anything about it being wrong blah blah are you on this page just to look for **** to start?

Oh yeah, it was a mistake. YOURS. You picked up someone's vape and just decided to take a hit off it? My son vapes, regular nicotine. I would not take a toke from HIS pen. Germs and all that stuff.

Nice try , I'm not buying THAT story.

Big mistake. Taking a hit off of someone's vape who he probably knows smokes weed. This person must think the rest of us were born yesterday.

" I'll retest myself when I can afford it and once I get a few negatives "

Far from resolved. OP has not taken responsibility and is throwing out bull feces.

update I called the HR for this hospital and they told me I will not be reported to the BRN or my school due to me not being licensed yet so I just can't reapply with them for 180 days, so I'll be okay I have offers from other hospitals I'll retest myself when I can afford it and once I get a few negatives I'll be ready to restart, so thank you all for your Two cents I'll definitely never let myself be in this situation again I'll leave this up for anyone else who needs answers

OK, I'll rephrase, then. The issue has been resolved to the OP's satisfaction. It doesn't sound like she intends to come back, but who knows? She might decide she wants to hear it all over again, someday.
