    Affinity Drug Test

    Quickstepper replied to Nurse_MSNRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never had nails done, only hair- those seem to be about a week (M-F).With most tests, if the preliminary result is positive, it takes much longer because they have to validate it further. I...

    Pending DWI

    Quickstepper replied to pk514's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think you are fine to apply for jobs. You have not been convicted, and, as of yet, have not had your license disciplined. Just be sure to be honest about your pending charges, if you are asked....

    Failed random drug test for thc

    Quickstepper replied to Lou_mama88's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my experience, it doesn't matter if you used it once or daily. It was in your system, and that's all they see. My advice is to be honest. You will probably get your hair or nails tested, and if...

    Returning to California from another state?

    Quickstepper replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, that helps a lot. I'm currently have 3-4 years left in Florida. I still have my California license and would like to return there in a year. I'm hoping that they will honor my time in monitoring...

    Soberlink

    Quickstepper posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Has anyone here been required to use a soberlink device? My evaluator recommend it, so IPN is requiring me to test 4 times a day. The problem is I work nights, and go back to a regular day schedule...

    Soberlink

    Quickstepper replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have soberlink 4x a day, plus random testing at least twice a month. An occasional hair test and testing for kratom every few months. I can barely keep up paying for it all. If I think about it too...
