    Worried about testing positive (drug test)

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    It would be highly unlikely if a traceable amount would even appear in your urine due to accidental exposure to your hands because it's really not even being absorbed by your body and being stored at all. I wouldn't worry.

    I recently did a paper on how prescribed opiates over the last 20 years and how it's impacted the current heroin epidemic. It was actually interesting to read about and there are many peer to peer reviewed scholarly articles on the subject.

    Best Dosage Calc Text?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to andielbc's topic in General Students
