ISNAP DRUG TESTS

Eris Discordia BSN, RN · Mar 31, 2018

I had it happen last month. I had a blood test Wednesday, a urine test Thursday, and another blood test the following Monday or Tuesday. All were negative. Don't know what they were testing for, they all had different prices, so obviously they weren't testing the same thing.

I've never had a dilute or a positive either. I've been in monitoring one year. Previously, the most I had was two in one week. I typically average one a week. Sometimes as far apart as every two weeks.

There is sometimes a reason and rhythm, but many times there is not. Staying truly substance clean from the entire no-no list is the only way to survive. As for the financial impact, I can only recommend having a decent little savings account ready in case you have to pay for serial testing like I had. It's not cheap and my program doesn't give one snit whether or not I can afford it.

When I was in ISNAP there was one time in 3 years that I tested 2 days in a row.

I've never had 2 days in a row, but I've had 7 in a 2 week period!

I'm currently in ISNAP and get tested about every 3 weeks. So far, never back to back.

From what I've been reading on this form Indiana seems to be a little easier than other states. My RMA States I get tested 16 times a year urine only no blood or hair. ( unless of course I start testing positive or dilute).

I was tested two days in a row once, right around my 2 year mark.

I had 22 tests my first year, 28 my second year, and 10 so far my third year, I'm about 7 1/2 months into my 3rd (final!!) year, so it's letting up a bit this year.

Nope, just started my 3rd year... finished 2 and have 3 left. It's extremely expensive and time consuming!!

I guess I win...I get 52 to 54 tests a year.

So you didn't check in on Thursday? This is one of my biggest fears, that I'll forget to check in! I frequently wake up with my heart pounding, thinking I'd forgotten to check in (which makes no sense at all to wake up thinking that since we have until 2pm daily to check in, but I always do it first thing in the morning). Let us know what happens!
