Postive THC random test

Call an attorney, YESTERDAY. DO NOT TALK TO THE BON without one. Do not admit ANYTHING to your employer.

I am sorry you are going through this, and I hope you come out unscathed. Some do! Good luck and keep coming here for support.

Deny Everything, admit nothing.

Check out zinc dosing as adulterant to thc tests causes false negative.. it works you just have to time it correctly. There are studies that prove it's efficacy.

If you do not smoke on a regular basis you may not even test positive. It depends on many factors including body fat content, how much you had, how much thc content the marijuana had, and how many days passed between when you smoked, and when they did the test. Good luck!

I’m going to take a leap and assume since you used the term ‘IPN’ that you are in Florida. My advice....GET A LAWYER. Now! Will this person be able to get you out of a contract? Probably not. BUT, they can protect you against the more unsavory aspects of this state’s program, like being forced to spend an unholy amount of money on some dumb ‘evaluation’ by a provider of their choosing, where they will lie to your face, manipulate you and then ‘recommandate’ overpriced BS treatment and most certainly a contract, even going so far to claim that you ”need monitoring to prove you don’t have a problem.”

Sound ludicrous? Yep....it is.

I had a very similar thing happen to me. I got a letter from the BON exactly one month later. Had a lawyer paid and ready to go. She fought my case for 9 months and it was just closed completely in October. DEFINITELY get a lawyer ASAP. DO NOT speak with your employer any further. When it happened to me, I was suspended for about 14 days while testing was done (don't know why it took so long), then fired for the positive.

@msrn2020 lawyer details pls.

got referred to IPN CM gave me "24hrs" to make a decision to comply or not. didnt know i could hire a lawyer right away. went to evaluator in gainesville, everything negative except alcohol on my hair! not urine or blood. hair! evaluator recommended inpatient treatment. WOW!. gave me choices tampa, gainesville, alabama, va, or louisiana....

i have the option for 2nd opinion IDK pls help all of them are crooks! one of the doctor evaluator even got charged for fraud! all have bad reviews!

If you know you are test positive refuse to take it.

Oh dear. Deny everything, get a lawyer......and stop doing drugs.

So I ended up testing negative(thank god) but for those of you reading this in hope of getting some guidance during this time I would just say stay strong. It was a nightmare just waiting when expecting a positive. You’ll get past it just keep on going and please don’t let fear mixed in with “bad” thoughts get the best of you.

goodluck on your journey, for those of you who smoke and want to know if it’s safe while working the profession at the time it most definitely is not, all we can do is support legislation that treats us fairly. We are people who choose to be nurses I don’t believe that should limit our freedoms after all intoxication at any workplace is never acceptable but what we do in our homes is our business!

While yes, what we do in our own home, in our off time is our business, until it can be proven that there is a definitive amount of time that can elapse between partaking of such a substance and being able to report to work and not be under the influence, it is best to steer completely clear.
As the rehab industrial complex in conjunction with these Programs are such immense money generators that already ignore evidence based research in favor of shoving 12 step stuff down everyone like gospel truth (or water boarding, it’s debatable)...I don’t see acknowledgment of any notion of possibly ‘safe’ parameters of use of such things. So even if’s legal in a given state, it isn’t if you want to keep practicing as a nurse.
