  1. Poppyseeds

    NurseJackie69 replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You will test negative. Don't worry. Poppy seeds are not good and give a false positive on rare occasions. Yes, it happens, but it is RARE and Poppy Seeds do NOT cause a positive for THC, but only...

  2. Kentucky Board KARE

    NurseJackie69 replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Great for you! You got this. It will be tough for you to transition from letting that embarrassment go and turning it over. It's a wonderful exercise though because once you get through this, the...

  3. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For marijuana, understand that ALL states test for it. All employers who receive federal funding or participate in Medicare (which is most of them like 99 percent) have to comply with DOT very basic...

  4. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For any hair test, the average time it takes for the drug to enter the hair and the time it takes for the hair to break through the skin to be collected is 10 days on average and up to 14 days. So,...

  5. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    State Boards on occasion do receive federal funding and because of that it does not matter if weed is legal in a certain state, for example, California. California still penalizes nurses who test...

  6. Hair Follicle Testing in Monitoring Programs

    NurseJackie69 replied to Sick of nursing 101's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes. Alcohol has a low sensitivity and specificity when done in a hair test, but the reason it matters is because when alcohol is detected in the hair, you are positive for sure and there's little to...

    RN_0211, Get into the Texas monitoring program now. It's very important and here is why.....it could take the BON 6 months to get back to you through their BON investigators, then another 6 months to...

  9. Kentucky Board KARE

    NurseJackie69 replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Stay for sure. First the employer sees your changes day by day, sees how well you are doing day by day, and when it's time to return to nursing, it's almost automatic that you have a job. Getting a...

  10. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And they should stop testing for it everywhere because it's a freaking joke at how many careers it's ruining. I blame the Democrats. Bunch is sorry azz Liars who talk a great game and say "we are...

  11. Recov Trek/Affinity Test Codes Mean Nothing

    NurseJackie69 replied to NurseJackie69's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No it doesn't vary by program. Legally, a program manager does NOT have to tell you if they do add ons and what the Add on are. Some WILL tell you and that's nice. It's kind. It's cool, but legally,...

  12. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Doesn't matter thst she would be negative or positive YET. The first issue is TIME. You do not want to get into the Waiting Game with the MRO and let TIME go by in order to wait to take a second test....

  13. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, another POSITIVE urine/hair/nail test helps no one. But, a Negative Urine/Hair/Nail works wonders and that's Clearly explained in the posts above as to how and

  14. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get a job now and here is why....you are 100 percent able to work while under investigation and you are technically NOT under investigation Yet. When you apply for new jobs, one of those common and...

  15. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    With all of the above written, please understand that I am not an attorney. I did use to be a paralegal prior to becoming an RN and I'm not giving you legal advice. I'm giving you advice as a nurse...

  16. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes and No. Urine test helps more than no test at all. A urine test would help for short term, but nowhere close to what the hair and nail test would do. You could do the urine test eith the hair and...

  17. Pre-employment THC

    NurseJackie69 replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Listen Carefully to Me and Personal Message me if you have questions. 1. Immediately today, go online to one of several Google sites that you can order your own drug test. Google the words,...

  18. PETH testing

    NurseJackie69 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are a smart nurse my friend because you are a Proactive Nurse and not a Reactive Nurse. The difference in those 2 is often big enough for some nurses to not make it through completion and why some...

  19. Recovery Trek - Test Options

    NurseJackie69 replied to RecoveryRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Doesn't matter. I've wrote this 10 times on the Board, options mean NOTHING because you ara being Tested for MORE than what you think you are. Add Ons. Add Ons. Add ons. Example....nurse does...

  20. False positive

    NurseJackie69 replied to PaNurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Which is why you want a negative hair test and toenail test negative results in hand when you show up for the eval and hand it to them and let them know your lawyer already has a copy. Will they test...

  21. False positive

    NurseJackie69 replied to PaNurse2023's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I will repeat....Hair Test and Nail Test. Never let time go by and fall into the "waiting game" and "back and forth" with the monitoring program and "waiting to hear back from them." For any nurse...

  22. PETH testing

    NurseJackie69 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Be absolutely sure you communicate with your monitoring manager on whether or not you need to have the Allegra Proof sent from your primary care doctor to your case manager directly or whether simply...

  23. PETH testing

    NurseJackie69 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nicotine is not on any list of prohibited substances in any state. Smoking, chewing, dipping are all allowed. The most important items that get nurses in trouble who literally get into trouble by...

  24. PETH testing

    NurseJackie69 replied to Heatherlynn76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are allowed to smoke in monitoring, LOL. They do not care if you are nicotine positive. Allegra is an antihistamine and antihistamines are not allowed without prescription. Benadryl is a...

  25. Test Codes for Affinity!

    NurseJackie69 replied to gandorx's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Doest matter because it's overwhelmingly likely you are being tested for MORE than 10 drugs. One of the biggest mistakes nurses make is they assume if they can match up the panel code with what's...
