  1. Option of taking Peth, hair or nails on initial

    Universe93B replied to PassportCruiser's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's difficult to say which test to do. Peth is VERY sensitive, but if you have 30 days, not that much chance it's above 20. It's gone through enough half lives. But the hair etg test is not...

  2. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Bottom Line. You are fear-mongering and need to stop. If you do not DRINK alcohol, you will get through monitoring just fine. There is no such study about perfume and it causing urine ETG. It...

  3. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't find any such study, confirming false positive urine etg after perfume use. I've seen some on hair etg, but that was people using products for 3 years and applied directly to hair....

  4. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have a link to the perfume study? Because no, applying perfume or cologne to the skin does not cause your BAC to rise enough to produce ETG, not even for a sensitive urine test. And...

  5. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good - and that's great. But my reply was not to you - it was to Rayce1919 - who mentioned hand sanitizer, soy sauce, perfume and mouthwash. That is fear mongering and needs to be called

  6. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. Read post #9, by Rayce1919 - they mention soy sauce. Or you can just read the post I quoted. I am replying to other people that keep bringing up soy sauce - I didn't bring it up first. 2....

  7. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hair tests are being used more commonly (along with Peth). Does anyone have any real world data on how much alcohol it takes to test positive for etg? There's a wide range of studies saying moderate...

  8. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did some research - the LOQ (level of quantification) of the Hair ETG test is 8. So monitoring programs would use 8 as a limit, not 5. Many of these studies you read online can use lower limits...

  9. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is overdoing it - just don't DRINK alcohol. You can still use hand sanitizer, spray perfume, eat soy sauce, etc. I do all of those things and have had urine tests and peth tests the very next...

  10. Peth alcohol testing (whole blood and finger prick) Real-world examples here

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wanted to post 2 real-world examples on here since there are so many posts asking about Peth testing and how long it takes to become negative and how many drinks. The 1st example is on the lighter...

  11. PETH testing for Affinity

    Universe93B replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for posting updates on tests or other things. We all need to do that more on here to help each other out and for people who use the search

  12. PETH testing for Affinity

    Universe93B replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you have not drank for 4+ weeks prior to the >2oz birthday shot and it was 40%, then you are fine. The peth after 12 days is

  13. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    Universe93B replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Correct, an attorney who deals with board related issues for nurses, physicians, dentists etc can answer and whether this is possible or not worth the right. Hopefully, you can get a good...

  14. PETH testing for Affinity

    Universe93B replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would agree with SheelaDavis and you should be okay. Just to be detail-oriented though, your shot was around or less than 2oz or 50ml? And what was the percentage/proof of

  15. CA RN probation drug testing blood?

    Universe93B replied to sdecoste82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If all else fails to push for more urine testing, you can advocate for Dried Blood Spot (DBS) testing that tests for the Peth molecule along with many other drugs. It's a finger prick and then 5...

  16. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Universe93B replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You said you were granted "absolutely 0 helpful" information on this thread of yours. You didn't even say how many drinks you had. The test could be negative is what many on here were implying....

  17. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Universe93B replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Eating a banana is the same as taking 1 sip of alcohol. These are calculations and kinetics that we know because of science and research and you should also have basic understanding of since we are...

  18. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Universe93B replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That may be true about you, but read between the lines. People don't come on here asking about 1 alcoholic drink and worried about a test after 5 days. Regardless, we'll never know since OP...

  19. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Universe93B replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP said, "I got drunk with a few friends to celebrate my birthday." Let's get real - that doesn't mean 1 or 2 drinks. I agree, less than 3 drinks, the Peth won't get above 20 and is negative (I've...

  20. +PEth in WHPS? with a job?

    Universe93B replied to birdo98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP says "5 days ago" they got drunk and they got selected for a Peth test. A peth test is positive after 5 days still, if you "got drunk." A peth test is only negative immediately if you have not...

  21. SCRPP Relapse

    Universe93B replied to Munchkin2018's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is this Board Prep in Tampa? What was your peth level? You said the hair test was negative, when did they do that, in relation to the peth? Board Prep in Tampa frequently recommends...

  22. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Anyone know the cutoff level used for hair ETG since it's pretty insensitive? The cutoff that is used for medical professionals like us? Most labs say 20pg but the national hair society testing...

  23. PETH testing

    Universe93B replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Right, I think we are trying to say the same thing, but might differ on the small things. As for the "scaring people," I see posts on here weekly about poor people just beginning monitoring and...

  24. PETH testing

    Universe93B replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My point is that we have people posting on here who have changed their entire lifestyle and diet due to monitoring. That is a ridiculous way of going about it. Just use some common sense. But it's...

  25. PETH testing

    Universe93B replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That 1% drank an alcoholic drink (or 4 or 5 or more) and got caught with a positive urine etg. So doesn't matter if they ate a cupcake or
