I have not heard anything yet... Orientation is on the 24th. As of right now, I am proceeding as normal(physical CEU classes, etc...) until I am told otherwise. I do not know if I should contact the school or let them contact me. I figured the latter would have taken place by now. I am told by friends and family to let it be until they contact me, so that is what I am doing. The "UNKNOWN" is killing me.

So, I don't understand how you "forgot" and are you taking it every day? I FORGOT because it is not a medication that I take often or on a regular basis...I FORGOT because in my excitement of being accepted into the program , I wanted to get everything done as quick as possible. I understand that as an outsider looking in this seems suspect....However, do not be so quick to judge or generalize. If I was a regular user or an abuser, with something to hide....don't you think I would have gone to great lengths to conceal my habit? That is not the case here. It was an innocent lack of judgement and sadly one that may cost me. I came on here to get perspective from others whom may have faced similar situations.

SORENSIC...Thank you for your advice, your honesty and your words of encouragement.

Thank You chiromed0

and if I did apply at another school, would they not have access to this info?

I have not formally started the program, so how bad can this impact me?

No, there is no names on it. No, it was not from the internet. I live part time there.

I recently was accepted to the 2019 Summer ADN program in Broward. Prior to my acceptance and my drug screening, I took a Xanax for anxiety and lack of sleep. I completely forgot that I took the pill and went and did my screening, which came back positive. The problem is that I got a prescription from a different country, which has no database or prescription number. I am pretty sure that I will lose my seat now. My concern is will this prevent me from re-applying to the program? Will it be on my record, therefore hindering my chances of getting into a nursing program at a different school? I have worked so hard for this, and to lose it over half of an anxiety pill makes me sick to my stomach.
