So do I request that they do the second test? The MRO stated she was sending the results to the company so do I assume she already did the second test? What kind of consequences will this likely occur? I have been in the healthcare field for over 13 years and have had lots of drug screens, pre-employment and random and have NEVER tested positive for anything. I am NOT an addict nor do I like the feeling of being high. I refused norco and anything besides ibuprofen after even giving child birth to my kids bc of how I didn’t like the way it made me feel . I am trying to get more info on this bc all the info I keep seeing online is dealing with nurses who really do have a bad drug habit, like stealing meds, saying they take opioids or meth or other things, who were randomly tested, or nurses who smoke marijuana. I can’t find any info on something similar to my situation, probably because it’s so ridiculous. ?

Hello, I am a licensed RN for Ohio and California. Have been working travel in California for 6 months. I applied for a new agency to start per diem work in California and just found out I tested positive foramphetamines on my pre-employment drug screen. At first I was confused and told the MRO I have no idea why that would show up and the only meds I take are allergy and sinus meds. Then it dawned on me my teenager takes Adderall and she also takes some of the same allergy meds as me as well. Long story short I am now worried that our meds could have gotten mixed up or a day I asked her to hand me one of our Zyrtec it might have been one of her meds, I don’t know. I keep all of our household meds in the same cabinet and being a single parent of four sometimes I’m handing everyone’s Meds out for the morning or she is. I was told by a friend that this might get me reported to the BON and I may lose my license over this. Can anyone give me advice on what may or may not happen? The MRO states that her job was just to report to the company and it’s at their discretion of what happens next. The recruiter for new agency says she has not heard anything yet and doesn’t know what happens in this situation that she thinks it might be I just reapply in 6 months.
