Thc is whats going to be your downfall. The Rxs are aloud. I tested for xanax and they couldn't do anything cause I have a valid script. You could easily say you were sleepy because you have occasional insomnia and didn't sleep well that day. Just wait for the results. Dont self report. Thats admitting you have a problem! Don't even do that. They will nail your coffin shut with that!

Ive been on this site reading stories since my incident. I dont want to get to into details as to give away my identity. I am a nurse in Florida. I got into trouble at work and was turned into the DOH with accusations of substance abuse and narcotic theft. I was never drug tested and I told them the medication found in my bag could have been anyones as we didnt have lockers and eveyone had access to our personal bags. I never had a drug discrepancy or accusation of diversion. The of last year I had a DOH investigator come knocking. I was distraught and confused so I gave a written statement but also have about 10 reference letters. I know I should have lawyered up but what was done is done. I then was told to go see a Addiction/ psychiatrist Dr and do intensive drug testing. Blood, urine ,and hair....7 months later and havent heard ANYTHING. My question is from every story I've read ots usually the DOH giving you a list of Drs to go see and do testing and you are charged out of pocket. I was just given an appointment and told when to show up and not changed a dime. Why is this different from everything I've been reading? Im still a complete reck. I refuse to allow anyone to answer any knocks on the door, I won't get any mail out the box till Saturday so that I'm mentally prepared for the worse. Im not working as a nurse but do have a job that uses my medical knowledge. I don't want to lose my license even though I don't want to be a nurse anymore.

Stay awake from nursing! So to be so Frank. Nursing is a mentally draining job. I started at 21 with LPN when me I had recently been diagnosed as bipolar and told the Dr he was the one that was crazy. I will say I made it through and did will for years but as the years went on my mental health got worse. I also went back and got my RN which absolutely broke me mentally. The stress of school and passing was atrocious. 5 years later I had a mental breakdown and was backeracted for let's say way longer than the normal 3 days......I've pretty much walked away from nursing, especially since I am having to deal with the DOH and BON over my breakdown......I finally got a Dr and once again diagnosed Bipolar. This time getting treatment. All I can say is school is hella competitive and stress. Lots of long days and sleepless nights. Then work is abusive from coworkers, Drs, administrators, patients, and family, and anyone else who feels like bullying you. 20 years ago this career was amazing. The world has changed and so has it! And you will not make the money you think you will Sorry to be a Debbie Downer. But this is career has ruined me

Organ, tissue and eye donation call centers hire people with medical background. You dont need to have any active license to work for them. Look in your area for one. Most states have several options
