Hey all. I am struggling. HARD. I have some questions.. and will give the shortest back story of my situation. 14 months ago, my job at a hospital that I worked at for 10 years questioned me about why I waste so many narcotics compared to other nurses. I have MS and drop things frequently. But they still drug tested me, and it came up positive for some things I had gotten from my dad.. sadly. I don’t have an addiction per say. I was in the lowest point in my life then. Had a miscarriage, got the ms diagnosis, my father is very ill, I think I had PPD not treated too. So clearly I wasn’t making the best choices in asking family for things I didn’t need. Anyway— fast forward to a month ago, I get the dreaded letter from the BON. I got a lawyer and have been waiting a month for her to get all of my records. Well she calls me today and says they have 17 boxes of info on me, a dirty drug test and paper work claiming I admitted to having an issue. Which I NEVER did. I am beside myself with this whole situation. Moral of my story is the lawyer thinks my only way around this is to enter PAP or some other program. I am willing to do what I need to do to cooperate, clearly but I have sO many questions. I haven’t taken anything in over a year (I also just had a baby)... am I even a candidate for this? Everything is out of pocket for me to pay? And does everyone test 2x a week for 2 years??? I pray they tailor the program to us independtly. I am soooo upset over not being able to just have a glass of wine on a holiday bc of an issue I don’t have. Obviously, the latter of my situation is much worse. Can anyone please just give me some insight on what to expect? And has anyone ever heard of anyone having criminal charges with these things? I am so terrified they won’t believe me and something way worse will happen. Help ?

Hey... does anyone know if when they take these board required drug tests if they test for kratom? Has anyone even heard of this? It’s not even illegal or considered a drug in most states....

Southern... I am in a very similar situation, in a similar stage. I’d love to talk to you. Maybe we can try to tackle this together and share our learned info from these fine people who have experience in this. I’d really love that if you would too...
