I finished my 3 years in TPAPN earlier this year and I actually thought it was way easier than I thought it was going to be. I would have started earlier if I would have known! LOL my CM was very agreeable and understanding and always willing to help...

How long have you been living in VA? It may get a little interesting if you're licensed in Texas (even though it is compact), I think you are supposed to switch your license within 60 days. I get what you mean about being relieved though. You will ge...

She said it is an expired RX, so depends on how old it is, I think it has to be within a year

Was this her self report form or one from her employeer/Dr/etc? My case manger was very understanding if my counselor was late turning in her monthly paperwork because that was largely out of my control but I think he wouldve killed me if I was late ...

Yes, this is saying using the dried blood spot technology. But a Peth test tests only for Phosphatidylethanol which is specific to alcohol.

Peth only tests for alcohol

Mine would always post as "positive" and then my CM would change it to "prescription positive", it never posted as "value out of range" for some reason

Are you sure your CM just hadn't gotten around to posting the results?

I thought I was going to have a lab issue (they ripped the label off but half of it stuck and they tried to put a new label over it) and my case manager said as long as I went, I wouldn't get in trouble if the sample was rejected by the lab for havin...

I found this on the BON site. You can also look at the meeting minutes and see if anyone was granted early dismissal (they rarely are). You go to "meeting minutes" and then I clicked on "eligibility and disciplinary committee report". The meeting min...

no problem, feel free to email me if you have any other questions! I know how scary it can be. [email protected]

I'm not 100% sure how lawyers work, but I paid an almost 3k retainer and that was it? He worked with me for over a year and multiple board issues 😅 LOL so maybe ask his to clarify how his fees work moving forward? you may not have to pay after this

1) I believe so because they all get sent off, they don't do the testing then and there. I was on prescription medication that caused positives and when it resulted from the lab, the result would say "positive" and then be changed to "prescription po...

I've used both and I like affinity better, but I'd say they're fairly similar!

TPAPN switched to Affinity a few years ago, not sure if non-TPAPN people were switched or if they still use recoverytrek 🙂

it can, delta 8 especially

I mean it doesn't sound like that will help you? It will just show you took a gummy? Even if effexor can cause a false positive, it is 99.9% more likely that it was from the gummy, even if it was over a month.

Ugh that is awful!! But.....I bet you're done! 🎉 I want to say it took like 3+ weeks before it changed online. And I had to follow up with them because the BON was updated but Nursys still said restricted. There was a number at the bottom of my lette...

I was able to take adderall as well as benzos when I was in TPAPN 🙂

I was in a different program and used affinity to test, if results came in over a weekend/holiday, it would show as positive and then change to prescription positive whenever my case manager reviewed it.

Congratulations! I'm not in your state but in my state, licenses go to single state while you're in a program. Once you're done with the program, you have to call or message them and have them change it back to multistate. I just had to take a pictur...

Yes, but she's asking about nursing schools-mine and a few in my area only did a 5 panel. Her mileage may vary though!

I am not in your state, but in my state, you take a drug test and then if it is positive, a medical review officer calls you and asks for your prescription. You provide them your prescription, and then they report your test to the school as negative....

I believe that is if you're licensed in another state, not just part of the compact. For example, if you're licensed in a compact state, but then also have a California license (not a compact state), you might get in trouble/have issues with your Cal...

Once you get disciplined, your license becomes a single state license (your home state). This may vary depending on your state and severity of discipline, but my license was suspended and then had restrictions and I had to do a 3 year monitoring prog...
