  2. Failed drug test, getting reported to BON

    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
  3. Have I proceeded correctly?

    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...
  4. Getting charged in multiple states?

    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...
  5. Hair follicle

    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
  6. Almost finished with ipn

    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 ...
  7. USD partial results

    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 ...
  8. New tests for IPN

    I posted recently that I had almost $300 of drug and blood tests in the past month. Never had this much testing since I entered Florida IPN. I have heard different nurses being tested these past 3 weeks with additional tests. Including o-panels. 2 d...

    I had a abnormal urine ( out of range creatinine) 2 days ago. This will be the second in one year, had the last September 2016. I am about to complete a 5 year contract with IPN in August. I was going to apply to get out in July. The new policy of...
  11. TPAPN completion

    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
  12. abnormal urine with IPN

    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.
  13. abnormal urine with IPN

    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 o...
  14. RN on Probation Question

    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 ...
  15. RN on Probation Question

    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.

  17. 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 F...
  18. DOC was propofol

    Yes propofol can be tested, but it is an add on test. How does your ex know that your not being tested for DOC? Fentanyl and propofol aren't usually on most drugs testing. Each state drug panel is different and they can add on extra if needed. Just ...
  19. Help what is regulation of drug screen???

    Any use of drugs, small or large is referred to Florida IPN. You said you "slipped", you are lucky if they give you 2 years. Most get 5 years contracts now. It sucks and I don't think everyone deserved IPN. This is how most states deal with any co...
  20. Possible BRN Program in California

    I was in diversion in california and it is more restrictions inititially, but once you find a job its the same. When you are finished with diversion and want to move or become a traveling nurse you do not have disclose because its not past discipline...
  21. Possible BRN Program in California

  22. Possible BRN Program in California

    I agree with happy. I was in Ca diversion. Only left due to moving but didn't complete which placed discipline on my license forever. Having low pay or no pay for 6 months to a year is better then losing your license. It will go by fast. I have bee...
  23. Possible BRN Program in California

    They will mandate any one with depression/pscyh/addiction/dui/and one time overdose. I hate the name of "Diversion" program. Not all of the nurses in these program have addiction or substance abuse. There are nurses that have multiple problems that...
  24. Possible BRN Program in California

    California diversion usually doesn't nursing return to work from 6 months to a year. I applied for state disability, was easy to get. The money you receive is based on past 3 years of salary. My md had to fill out paperwork. California probation p...
  25. Possible BRN Program in California
