Im using an occupational medical site that because it is closest to home for me. The urine drug screen itself is $20 but then it is an extra $25 for it be observed so it equals out to $45.

Hi, per an agreement with LSBPNE to be eligible to sit for NCLEX I would have to enroll into a drug screening program (Affinity) and maintain this for the 2 years they will probate my licenses once I receive them. This disciplinary action was because prior to me entering an LPN program I had a mental health crisis and was PEC to a mental health facility which at that time I tested positive for marijuana. I never failed any other drug test in my life and the only mental health conditions I suffer from are ADD which I take medication for. However, since my enrollment into this drug program on 10/19 I have been selected for a urine drug screen which is $45 plus a $55 processing cost from Affinity totaling $100 every 7-14 days so far. Although I know I cannot do anything about the cost it really bothers me because of the frequency ontop of the fact that I am not even employed nor will my probation period began until I am licensed and employed to begin with. I have tried expressing this to my case manager multiple times but they do not care at all. The cost us outrageous & the frequency is beyond me. Maybe it is because I am on a controlled substance and thats why? This is so frustrating & truly makes me want to give up because I feel that I am being discriminated against & made out to be an addict for having received mental health help & having marijuana in my system one time years prior. I'm not sure what I am looking for here. I guess encouragement & maybe to know I am not alone in this?
