Yes, the monitoring really isn't that terrible. I have a little less than a year remaining. I'm hoping they allow me to test at work because that would make my life a lot easier! At worst, I guess i could just go on my lunch break!

Hello! quick question: I am a newly licensed nurse in the monitoring program. I am subject to checking in daily with my program and random drug screens. I am just curious how day shift nurses handle taking a drug screen on a day that they are working? Do you leave the hospital? Do it on lunch break? Test at the hospital? I am just looking for advice on how to handle this. To avoid this entirely, I told my manager to put me on nights. However, nights are NOT for me! I have always been the type to go to bed early and rise early. I can not sleep during the day or stay up all night to save my life! I want to switch back to days, but before I do so, I would like to hear how others have handled taking drug screens while being at work.

I took it yesterday, on a Friday, with 2 other classmates. The BON updated our info within 2.5 hours. We all passed, except mine says inactive. I called and they said it was probably a glitch in their system, but it's still aggravating!

Yes, it's not the temporary permit, it is the actual RN license

Hey guys, I took NCLEX-RN this earlier today and passed in 75 questions! Yay! However, after checking my state board site, it says my license is inactive!? The RN license and # are there, but inactive. I called the board and they aren't sure why but said it should be cleared up soon. Has anyone ever had this happen to them right after taking NCLEX!?
