I really need some advice. I just graduated and passed my boards to become an LPN. I got a job at our local hospital and have been doing orientation for a month. I was called into the nurse managers office yesterday morning because my drug screen showed up positive for benzos. My contract was terminated and I was sent home immediately. I am crushed I used to have a prescription for Clonipine and at a party a month ago I took I took what I thought was Tylenol from someone but it turned out to be Valium. I received two negative random drug tests during school last year and I don't use. It was one mistake that is ruining my life.
I need some advice on getting another job. The drug testing is no problem but I have no work experience except at the hospital. Do I put that on my resume? Do I tell the truth in and interview? Will it show up on my background test? How can I get another job? What if they call my former employer? HELP I don't know what to do????
