What's the point of going thru the program if I can't be a nurse? I just don't see the point. I tried to tell her what I've going thru but she didn't seem to care. I suppose it doesn't really
I agree. It's all very ridiculous. I'm cool with a year of this but 3 is excessive, especially for a first offense. Of course mine wasn't even job related which makes it (for me) more frustrating....
No one has contected me yet. The first 2 were at the beginning, before the new contract, I wasn't able to go early and drank too much coffee, apparently. This last one was...well, unexpected, we will...
I've just had "abnormal" results that they said were dilute. Of course I'm in Indiana. Not sure if it's different. There was just shift in the company running the monitoring program and I'm nervous on...
Recently started in ISNAP with, what I'm assuming is a standard 3 year monitoring agreement after a DUI. My main question involves shortening the terms of the RMA. Does it happen? Is it possible? What...

Everything I have read about the type of test they use says you cannot dilute to trick the test. It's reading a liver enzyme produced by alcohol breakdown not actual alcohol content. It's just...

I hate AA. Loathe. The God and higher power talk make me I'll. And the sponsor requirement is absurd. I wish I had the money to file a lawsuit but Indiana is such a backward state I'd probably lose....
I received the "warning" after the first abnormal result but did get the email until AFTER my 2nd test which was the same. My case worker stated both were negative but diluted which I don't get. What...

I suppose I am at a major impasse in life. Most of my friends have deserted me, my family pretty much leaves me alone, and I keep work people at a distance. I hate my life and it is completely because...
