DO NOT DO IT!! I know someone that failed a drug screen because of Kratom! IPN tests for everything! Please don’t chance it. It’s not worth it. You’ll be refrain from work and have to start all over after you get and evaluation and treatment. Too much money to lose!

Hello, which facility did you finally picked? Also, which place was 6 weeks. I too have to do IPN IOP and they gave me 3 facilities for which all are in Tampa and Gainesville. Funny because I live in Miami and one of the places said I had to go in for random drug test and it wasn’t doing to work out by me living so far. These people don’t even consider your area when they send recommendations.

Thank you all for your feedbacks. So far I haven't heard anything (maybe because of the holidays) but I will keep you posted. I just wish I new exactly what they are researching since it's taking a while. Happy Holidays 🎄🎄🎉🎉

Yes, TRUST me I didn't want to tell them anything but what do you do when your DON tells you to be honest to HR and tell them too. I wasn't going to say anything at all since the DON New about my situation and was ok with it since I was offered the job. Well I guess I'll wait and see and pray for the best and expect the worse. If it's not meant to be then it's not meant to be. í ½í¸¢í ½í¸‡

I thought about emailing the Director there but I don't know if she'll know what's going on since HR manages their own thing and might not communicate it to the department. I did call HR yesterday to find out my status and they said they are still researching it and waiting on their team leader (whatever that means). I think you're right they are probably confused and have no clue of what the program is. Hopefully they can speak to the department as they can say that they know and they approve of it.

Thank you, but that's exactly what I did. I never told HR anything at first. I waited to tell the department first at the end of the interview. The director was the one that advised me to be honest to HR and also let them know as well. I still waited and when they called Me to give me the offer is when I disclosed it to them which I reall didn't want to but because they told me to is why I did it.

Hello IPN nurses, So I'm an IPN participant and recently lost my job due to me passing the 6 month Leave of abcense. Now, I started looking for employment and was able to get an interview. The interview went well and at the end I did disclose my IPN status to them, however, they did advice me to disclose it to HR as a good faith. Later that day I called them to disclose it and left a message on their machine letting them know I had something to tell them. They called me back and said the interview went well and wanted to offer me the position. I said yes and right away I disclosed my IPN status. Needless to say they said they had to research it and will let me know whether or not they were going to continue with the offer. It's been 4 days already and I called to follow up and they said they were still researching. What are they researching? It was voluntary and it is not through the Boards so nothing comes up? I'm so nervous and don't know what to expect. Any suggestions???? Please help!

Yes, I figured out that it wasn't the procedure by the diet pills that I was taking phentramine! I'm so stupid and didn't realize that it was an amphetamine! I had no Rx and therefore here I am in this bind all because I took the easy way out to loose way. Wow big mistake and a big lesson learned here. Does anyone know how long is this IPN for? How early do they give you an evaluation appointment for? Thank you? Tuts00RN

I have sent them the documentation and they are saying is more than that which I'm not aware of. I'm even thinking of doing a hair test to prove them wrong and even getting a lawyer. I'm just concerned that now I'm getting this IPN notice and I'm afraid of not calling until I get to a lawyer because it states if not it will go to the board of nursing which it becomes public record. Has anyone done the program??

I tested for positive for narcotics and I had a procedure done which they gave me fentanyl propofol, and lidocaine.

Hello everyone, I recently tried applying for a PRN job and tested positive for narcotics. Unfortunately It was the biggest mistake in my life because I don't do drugs and had a procedure done the day before the test. I tried explaining to them but they don't want to listen. Now I just received a certified mail stating to call IPN within 3 days. I am currently working and wondering if I have to leave my job! I've been working there for 12 years and I can't believe this is happening to me! Please help and explain what this IPN is, how long is this program, do they have early termination, will this stay in your file for ever?? Thank you, Tuts00RN
