What ended up happening??? I’m in a similar situation right now.

It’s definitely true…I have never taken medications that were not prescribed to me. And I know it sounds unbelievable, but I’ve never been high in my life, not even weed.

I have been a nurse for several years. During a travel assignment I pulled too many narcs from the Pyxis on accident (the machine stated the dosage and not how many tablets to pull). I opened the packages while I was waiting for the computer to boot up and once I scanned the patient and med, I realized that the dosage was one tablet and not the 5 that I pulled. It was Shift change and I couldn’t find another nurse to witness not would anyone answer the call light when I asked for someone to come and watch me waste so I wasted the meds in the sharps container. I (very stupidly) got caught up in giving report and left without wasting the medication in the Pyxis. I was pulled into HR the next day and was told the count was off. When I explained what happened, I was asked to take a UDS immediately which was negative for the rapid and negative for the send off. Now, I’ve been sent a letter that the state wants me to stand before the BON or I can sign a consent form admitting guilt and I have to have an evaluation through TnPap. I have never had an addiction and never take prescription pain medication of any kind. Im just not sure if I should do the TnPap evaluation because I’ve read it can take 6 weeks (with not having a job) and they still may recommend monitoring even though I don’t have any kind of history. Im just at a loss for what to do. Anyone been in a situation like this?
