Just self-reported to IPN

Ok so it's done. I strongly considered fighting the accusations against me because I did not divert (pharmacy audit program picked up a discrepancy and I've NEVER been impaired on the job, no accusations of such either), but that in combination with a refusal to submit to a urinalysis looked incriminating. I would have been required to have an psych eval anyway, and a hair test would have come back positive. And they def would have made me submit to one. I couldn't imagine giving all of my money in savings to a lawyer that would possibly not help me, and in the end manage to find myself in the same situation.

I was in the process of applying to CRNA schools. My hopes and dreams have been shattered, but I will have to move forward with what I have and make the best of it. Perhaps I will still be able to attend grad school one day and be a nurse anesthetist.

So, I will apply for un-employment and look for jobs. I have another B.S. degree that I can perhaps put to use.

I hope I manage to get a fair IPN contract, although I believe there probably is no such thing.

    I am sorry you had to join us. It breaks my heart to hear this. You should have gone and did a urine screen anyways. And received a lawyer. Lawyers do help you and get you a deal to your best interest or maybe even prove the discrespency was wrong. And you were accused for not reason.

    I know when I saw my pyxis print out I almost threw up seeing what I did. I knew I did it but seeing it was so real and an eye opener for me.

    I hope that this eases your mind that you self reported and hope all goes well.

    Mind if I ask what state you are from? And are they going to take away your license for awhile?

    I am hear to talk if you would like. I have two ears ready to listen so you can vent your frustrations. Bless you sweet one.
