  1. Suboxone use and the Boards of Nursing

    TIMFY replied to imfree's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  2. Suboxone use and the Boards of Nursing

    TIMFY replied to imfree's topic in Nurses Recovery

    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...

  3. Suboxone use and the Boards of Nursing

    TIMFY replied to imfree's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You shouldn't have to disclose anything. If your drug screen is positive, the MRO will call you and ask if you have a prescription. If you do, the drug screen will be reported to the company as...

  4. Flexeril?

    TIMFY replied to daliafriar's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, I take a few meds that are not on the approved list and they've always been

  5. Flexeril?

    TIMFY replied to daliafriar's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You would have to add it to your list of meds like you presumably did with the robaxin, but it is the same schedule as robaxin (ie not a scheduled med) so I don't see why they wouldn't allow

  6. Another dilute urine for IPN

    TIMFY replied to Quickstepper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't think proving that it isn't altered is the issue-dilute would kind of mean that you didn't alter the sample and are trying to flush your system out. If you're using your first morning urine,...

  7. Finding a job with probation

    TIMFY replied to Peterpan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my program, you would not be able to finish probation. One of the stipulations is working as a nurse consistently for one

  8. LSBPNE

    TIMFY replied to Whittlauren's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would think so because I think that's pretty standard everywhere, but I have no knowledge of Louisiana specifically. If you were told to abstain from alcohol, I'm fairly certain they're testing for...

  9. Spectrum Affinity random drug screenings

    TIMFY replied to Ayebee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ohh gotcha. There is a form on affinity that says "refer a collection site", maybe you can find one that would work that is not on their list yet? You may be able to get the "observed" stipulation...

  10. Spectrum Affinity random drug screenings

    TIMFY replied to Ayebee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The 7-14 days sounds about right, but I think you should just be paying the $55 to affinity. What lab are you going to? Some labs have higher costs if it is after hours or through a provider that...

  11. TPAPN Lawyer

    TIMFY replied to philcolb0406's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Curious about this as well, let me know what you find out! I don't think you'd need a lawyer though, I would just ask your case manager. Or like the previous poster said, see if they'll make an...

  12. Affinity and KNAP

    TIMFY replied to Short LPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    SVT stands for "specimen validity testing" and detects substitution, adulteration or dilution. If you think it was more concentrated than normal, maybe your cr came back high. It seems to vary by...

  13. TPAPN and panic attacks

    TIMFY replied to MSRN2020's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. Feel free to PM me if you want to

  14. New TPAPN and Quest Rules

    TIMFY replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Check out this thread: Also, search on affinity and see if there are other labs that use quest but aren't quest. I found a small lab and they don't take appointments, but no one is ever there...

  15. Accused of diversion in VA - Need guidance

    TIMFY replied to VA.RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think the problem is that the specific drug would come back as methamphetamine. If she tests positive for the category "amphetamines", they would have already run the extended test to find out which...

  16. Recovery Trek test results

    TIMFY replied to RueTrue's topic in Nurses Recovery

    mine have been taking a week-2 weeks lately, I think it was because of the

  17. Pre-Employment Drug Screen - Benzo RX OK?

    TIMFY replied to CP.60RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Not sure if this is the best advice, but even if HR asks if I'm on any meds, I usually say no. It really shouldn't expediate things to list your meds because if you test positive, it has to be sent...

  18. Missed Affinity Test

    TIMFY replied to DiannaMac's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Did you miss a test and a check in or just a check in? Check in probably isn't that big of a deal, but missing a test is like failing a test. Go to an urgent care or ER if the place is

  19. Pre-Employment Drug Screen - Benzo RX OK?

    TIMFY replied to CP.60RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    you'll be fine, you don't have to disclose before, the MRO will call you after and tell you what you tested positive for and then you'll have an opportunity to provide your script. Once the MRO...

  20. Drop your monthly testing average here please.

    TIMFY replied to RueTrue's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Usually every other week (twice a month), the closest together my test have been were 5 days and the longest was 4 weeks over the holidays and 4 weeks in the

  21. Interview Questions

    TIMFY replied to Knurse1967's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was able to start looking for work right away and it took me 11

  22. TPAPN job help

    TIMFY replied to dolphins_love's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What part of Texas are you

  23. New to IPN.. questions

    TIMFY replied to Janelle23's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've taken plenty of vacations and just not told them (I was under the impression that you didn't have to tell them unless you were wanting to not check in/test). If you were going somewhere...

  24. ALMOST there!

    TIMFY replied to crazin01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was finally half way there last week and I was so excited about that until I made the mistake of looking up a countdown and it said "you have 78 more weeks..."? Congratulations on being almost

  25. TPAPN/Quest

    TIMFY replied to rn1965's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Check out other labs in your area. There are a few labs around me that are not quest (think "accu screen", "drug testing solutions", etc) but they are quest partners so I don't have to pay an extra...
