Hello Work friends,

I'm not in nursing but I am a Lab Science student but I am desperate and still confused and scared for my license, I failed a Florida DOT for a job not related to my training license now I'm labeled an addict, I tested positive for THC.  I did eat edibles from time to time over the Summer months, it's not something I normally do (I thought I would be clean 30+ days later which I wasn't and I put myself here ), everything happened so fast they cut my hair for testing (neg) urine (still pos @50 mg but cut off was 20mg ) blood peth(pos but low levels show abstinence but they still don't want me to drink??? ) OVER 1300 IN EVAL FEES AND TESTING OUT OF POCKET SO FAR, now I am hit with a contract of 2 years with the wolves at PRN. has anyone have this unfortunate experience please help guide me in some way. Has anyone ever had their contract shortened? released early for constant negative results? I have to enter into IOP but they are costly and with no job being a student I cannot afford 2-3 hundred busks a day for 8 weeks plus the random drug testing? what were your experiences? please share 

Thanks in advance

I'm curious, how long after you drank are your tests still positive? You have to go to IOP for a career, because you have a substance use disorder or a lab science career? If you don't have an addiction I'd skip the BS and find one of the million careers that don't care since you are still a student.

Hey , I drank a couple glasses of wine (small glasses at that ) two days before and didn't think they would test for alcohol, I'm months away from graduating with a BS it's not so easy to walk away after doing 3 years of school. Because of the positive thc they want money so they are saying I have a problem which I absolutely do not  it's a lot about money with these people.

Any amount of alcohol will show as positive.  I also don't have a substance use disorder but if I want my license I have to keep going through this BS and paying for all of this. My advice is either commit 100% to their rules or walk away.  No alcohol, not one sip. Mo mouthwash with alcohol, no poppy seeds. Jump through their hoops.  It's asinine. They can test for anything.  No benadryl no immodium  etc, the greedy and corrupt powers that be will micromanageyour life until you complete your sentence. . The medication they consider mood altering is ridiculous.
