Yes!! Online meetings were great. you can pick any state you want if you're worried about anonymity.

if you're comfortable posting your email, that would be great!

PM me if you can! I might have a lead for you

I think my case manager was more ready to leave than I was 😅 He emailed me a month before and told me what to expect and then the day before as well. The board then sent me a letter saying everything was good to go about a week after my end date. are...

Officially free! Ask me anything/feel free to private message!

I would definitely not drink in the few days before the test if you can, but I'm really not sure if it would count against you. I would think it absolutely shouldn't, but I've read a few posts on here that make me think otherwise. I drank a few glass...

Are you able to log into spectrum360 yet? I believe there is a long list of evaluators on there under resources! If not, ask your case manager to send you a list. There is a slight chance you might get insurance to cover it, but it has to be a TPAPN ...

I bet its the Benadryl then! my test came back positive Christmas eve and that was the longest 2 days ever 😭 it finally changed to "prescription positive" the day after Christmas, which makes me think affinity just uploads them and the case manager h...

Are your test results back yet? They'll say positive until your case manager verifies then they'll say prescription positive. I believe the case manager has to manually verify and change because if my drug test comes back over a weekend/holiday, it s...

I'm not in Nevada but the employer quarterly reports are just like 5 yes or no questions like "does she show up to work", etc. I think by "private" they meant no public mark on your license but you might ask if they'd be willing to forgo the quarterl...

I think not reporting the DUI will be the much bigger deal but yes, you'll get a chance to explain.

I had to sign a release authorizing them to contact my pharmacy, no idea if they ever do or not

hmmm this kind of sounds like you don't have to tell them as long as you're still planning on checking in/testing? "travel affecting drug testing obligations"

This is how my state is as well! Have you ever taken any "vacation" time? My testing schedule is fairly consistent, and I'm afraid if I took any vacation time, even just for a few days, I'd have to do a bunch of expensive tests when I come back.

I would think they would probably supplement with PETH tests every few months (can detect alcohol use up to a month) if the saliva tests aren't as sensitive as the urine tests

Ohh thats kind of cool! I think I'd be a little worried that it might more easily pick up mouthwash with alcohol, vanilla in food, soy sauce, etc

excellent advice, but I think OP is in Tennessee 😀

So you tested positive for alcohol before starting IPN? Like during their intake testing? That should not count against you. I drank the night before I started since I knew I would be going without for a few years. No one ever said anything since it ...

I just don't know why they would pull the PMP? Or how because I believe only MDs and Pharmacists can access it. If you WERE in TPAPN then they might access it and care but if you're not, then I highly doubt the BON is reviewing prescription records f...

I'm a little confused, who are you worried about finding out what meds you're on? The BON? They wouldn't know unless you had an incident at work and were reported to them. As long as you have a script, you should be good. I've been on multiple C2 med...

I would die.

you usually have to pay more and go to an urgent care/somewhere open late

Suboxone can be used for pain management! Easier said than done, but try not to worry too much. The MRO might have concerns about you being a nurse on suboxone and that is OK. You're not doing anything wrong. I think they report it as "negative with ...

That I don't know...if she's saying it will be considered a negative, I don't know who would report it to the board? Your hospital won't be able to see anything other than "negative" once your script as been reviewed by the MRO. I once had an MRO ask...

I'm sorry you're going through this! That seems really invasive for the hospital to ask. I did have one job that asked similar questions and asked what medication I was on. I just put "N/A" for everything and then the MRO called when it was positive ...
