Peth test turnaround

Published

Hello,

Does anyone know how long it takes for Peth test results? I am not allowed to see my results (BON has it set up this way) and it's been 9-10 days since I tested. I'm assuming no news is good news?

This happened to me and I had to spend $850 for third party evaluator to keep me out of in patient rehab. I had to restart the program l; added three more years to my contract. Oh and this is two months before I was supposed to finish my contract. Never had a Peth test before. Only urines tests. It’s a horrible situation but don’t be too hard on yourself. Just keep moving forward?

Wow, that is crazy. I have 2.5 years left. They didn't say anything about restarting but I'm wondering if this will be an issue when I apply for full licensure at the end of my 2.5 years. I am in the program for DUIs I got before I became a nurse. Other than the positive test I've done everything as I'm supposed to. It's a horrible feeling but I guess some learn the hard way LOL
