  3. Option 4

    Not sure. I did strict ketogenic for 10 months and never had any issues...But abnormal usually speaks to urine concentration one way or another, so it could be possible? I don't

  6. Option 4

    Do you all just have 4 options? My program has fifteen options and I occasionally pop a "special option" that is a fill in code. I've been tested on about 6 of the avalaible options plus one special...
  7. Does anyone take clonazepam?

    I used to take klonopin and had taken it for years. I did stop it for various reasons. By the time I stopped, it wasn't working any more. My shrink tried crossing me over to other benzos and they did...

  9. 3 Tests in 5 days!!!

    No, my contract doesn't have number of tests listed. In the program's mandatory orientation at the start of monitoring they said the average participant has 50 to 54 a year. But they do not tell us...
  10. New to Recovery program and not good news

    In my case, I forced a meeting with the MD and the facility's risk management to determine why they could legally report me. Risk management replied that the BON had fined their facility when they...
  11. New to Recovery program and not good news

    I wasn't working as a nurse at all when I had my issue. I had voluntarily stopped working as a nurse prior to my medical MD turning me in. He felt it would get me clean. And I wasn't abusing a...

  14. Working non nursing jobs while in contract

    My prn psych contract only requires me to work 32 hours a month at a minimum...but 16 of those have to be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I need way more than that, so I work more, but those are...

  16. TPAPN with a pending felony

    You're best bet is going to be to retain an administrative law attorney who absolutely must specialize in your state's specific BON, in addition to your criminal attorney, in order to navigate the BON...
  17. TPAPN with a pending felony

    Was a DWI a part of the vehicle search? Signs of impairment that led to the search? Are you also in trouble for whatever led to that
  18. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    I've never had a positive with Recovery Trek, so I can't say. The blood test I took on Wednesday posted today for me online, but it wasn't positive. It's just hard to gauge lab turn

    Bwahahahaha!
  21. Back to Back Tests

  23. preemployment drug testing

    Ahhh. Yes. That is what I was desperately trying (and apparently failing) to get across; don't test yet unless you want to risk a gigantic pile of doo doo that will take years to wade through. No job...
  24. 3 Tests in 5 days!!!

    I thought starting and paying for/having witnessed dosing of naltrexone was the hoop I needed to jump thru to drop the key restriction. Apparently not. Increased testing, more dolla dolla bills gone...
