The end is almost near and it seems like I'm getting more and more test. Crazy part is that I have never had one slip up during my whole 2 years of monitoring. Not one missed check in or positive test. They say affinity testing is random but dang. This month alone I have had about 3 Peth test which are 120$ a piece. I'm wondering if I will have to do a hair or nail as the end is near I'll be sure to let you guys know. I can say that being monitored has only taught me resilience nothing else. First year I was very better as I do not have a substance abuse issue. This served as a lengthy lesson only and did build character. I do want to say keep pushing everyone!

You're supposed to get less testing as the end nears. All of these monitoring programs are so sick - with no help of any kind of recovery. They just make you angry and angrier. Keep up the great work though and it will be over soon!

Smh it's just too much
Right, in my program, the number of urine etg tests per month decreases by quite a bit in the last part. But there is a random peth and a random nail/hair etg that happens also sometime during that last part.

Highest risk for relapse for nurses who have a SUD is between 6 months before graduation of a monitoring program and 6 months after completion. Even for nurses who don't have a true SUD and were falsely labeled or diagnosed as having one, about 6 months before graduation until finish is the highest risk for slip ups or failed tests. This is why many monitoring programs increase testing towards the end.

I understand increased test but not in tested path test I would said in my case etg.. its pointless to take weekly peth giving how long it goes back and the characteristics of it.
