I had to have frequent PEth tests while monitoring. I had a history of positive etg tests without drinking. The average results came back aprrox 7-10 days. The shortest was 5 day and the longest was 3 weeks. All negative. I was stressed every time waiting. Sometimes it said partial -result, before final results. I spent a lot of money on testing. PEth testing helped me complete IPN.

I have never heard of any tests for baclofen. I had to drug test for 2 different state monitoring and baclofen wasn't a drug tested. I know its a muscle relaxant. Did you test positive for another medication? Gabby

If you look back at my posts. I have a long history of testing positive for etg(without drinking) since 2006 when it first started being used....I spent a lot of money and never figured out what caused my positives. I never had a positive PEth. I was placed on fluconazole for possible gut fermentation. I don't know if it helped, I do know I never drank. Good luck

South Carolina probably notified any states that you hold a license. They can charge you with (having discipline on a license in another state). Most states have rules that state they can place a mark on your license for having discipline in another state. Its a normal step BON take if you were reported to the BON. Gabby

When I had blood PEth test, after a couple of days it would report partial test result. Then after a couple of days, it would post (negative). It is still being tested. Don't worry

Yes I am out. I had a hair test another PEth test. Actually had my blood test result as abnormal, after stressing over a weekend. The lab made a mistake, it was normal. Abnormal means low or high creatinine.(urine only) But I did complete. I only had extra tests because I had an abnormal with in the last year.

When I have had blood test(PEth) and any other special panels, it will say "partial test result" before resulting in negative. Affinity has resulted my blood test was abnormal/or dilute and I had a test result say invalid........... I called Mary the drug specialist and they corrected the results to negative. I never got an explanation, other then they made a mistake. Gaby

When I had blood test with IPN Usually PEth test. It will read partial result , then it would result in 2-5 days. Some times it would go from test received then then result negative. It depends how often I am checking on results. O-panel are special panels and can result from 4-day to 2 weeks.

I wish they did that for other states. Florida is 2-3 tests a month for 5 years. I heard CA has increased up to 4-5 a month for 3 years

The results can be anywhere from 5 - 9 days for results. Also it might say test received (partial-result). That is normal when its in testing.

Yes, it is for PEth. I never had a problem with false positive for this test. I had a long history of false positive etg, never could find the cause. Supposedly PEth is more accurate and has less false positive(or innocent exposure) I have heard of other IPN participants receiving this test if they had a dilute or abnormal urine. It can test for alcohol consumption/exposure for 3 weeks

If you leave California probation before completion, whatever time left will be "tolled" meaning stopped until you return to California to complete. California does not give you credit for other states programs. It is standard for all probation contracts.

I left Ca to Florida and had to complete another 5 years. But it depends on the state and on your history. I have heard of KY on this site but rarely from Ohio or WV.

Hope your eval went well.

Don't surrender your license. I am from California. I had no choice but surrender my RN license when I moved to Florida. ( already bought a house hubby retired was moving to Florida, planned before issues with California license) I entered IPN in Florida just completed 5 years. Because I surrendered my license in California, its considered discipline. Info is sent to Nursys, National practioner board. Some are on a medicare exclusion list (OIG) I thought since I wasn't on that list I was fine. I just found out I am on California med-cal exclusion list) Can't work for any hospital or office that works with the state of California medi-cal program. My initial issue was from 2006. I wish California would take my Florida completion of their program as evidence of completion of Probation. California is a difficult state. I don't know if teaching has you going to doctors office and or hospital facility. You might be able to teach, good luck..
