the last thread got shut down for legal purposes i suppose. I will do my best to post these questions in a better, non legally comprimising format...Sorry! 1. Has anyone ever heard of a hair test coming back positive from SECOND HAND cocain(crack) smoke. 2. Does anyone THINK this is possible or even probable. 3. Are there any places where one can get a COMPLETLY private and secret hair-drug test done. Meaning you dont have to give your name or personal info, maybe just a code or something... If anything needs to be change from this thread to make it compliant with any rules or regulations i will GLADLY do it. I do not wish to upset such a wonderful board w so many knowledgable people, however, i could REALLY use anyones previous experience or ideas here.. thank you!!!

ive heard of false positives when someone was around a lot of marijuana smoke in tight quarters(car, smoke shop, etc.) but we were in a fairly large room, but im not sure what the tolerances are.. Also, cant the hair tests determine the amount of exposure or could it tell that it was not from direct consumption.

sorry for a dumb question, but i cant get my mind off of it, so here we go.^ my brother and i are on vacation traveling europe. We have been staying in hostiles which is good and bad. The good thing is its cheap and we get to meet new-interesting people... The bad part is we meet new-interesting people!!!!! Last night my brother and i woke up to a "bed neighbor" smoking crack from tinfoil and blowing the smoke out a small open window. It turns out he had been smoking for a while. We emediatly went to the front desk and DEMANDED a new room, and they kindly obliged. NOW.... My brother is going into the military in the next month or so and will have some sort of nuclear engineering job. It requires a security clearance...etc.etc. Obviously thew will drug test him, and im assuming they wont cheap out w a urine test since he will be very important to the military. He doesnt do drugs at all. Is there anything to worry about w the smoke in the room creating a false positive. The room was good sized(10 by 20) and the crackhead was blowing most the smoke out of the small window. The room wasnt SMOKEY or CLOUDY but it did smell pretty bad and of chemicals... Should he be worried about just being in the same room as that guy or does it require actual hits or puffs to create a positive. Like i said, its a decent sized room, but it smelled kinda bad. im kinda worried because i would hate for something so small and stupid to mess up a life-long career. honest opinions please...--sorry about the punctuation..i cant find the q mark on these wierd keyboards--- thanks so much for any time and or knowledge

You guys/gals are awesome. Thank you for having open minded and realistic answers... I fully expected to hear 99 percent of the gateway drug stuff, but i think you guys now see where i'm coming from... thanks again for everyones opinions... If you have more/new ones...bring em too!!!

Roy Fokker- Thank you very much for your time/ideas... But my question for you is, how would they EVER know? How could they use it against someone if they never find out? I wouldn't even be in the program for one year, and wont be an RN till 3 years... thanks!

haha... Ok, well i'm getting mixed opinions here.... ALL are appriciated...

Rac nc o3- great post. The urine test ins't a concern at all for me. Its the hair test i'm a little more worried about... I'm not sure if that should even be a concern as i wont be in the program for at LEAST 8 months.... THANK YOU GUYS/GALS SOOOOO much for your time!!! First, let me clear something up- I'm a VERY strong minded individual. I don't fall into peer-pressure, and i have NO urges to try controlled substances. I have broken many bones, and been issued many bottles of Tylenol W/Codine as well as Vicoden(sp). Off all those bottles, i've probably only taken 5 pills TOTAL, and that was simply because the pain was unbearable. I've worked around people that smoked around me EVERY DAY after work, and i never touched it... I have no urge to experiment either... I just figure it would be a once in a lifetime experience, and its kinda part of traveling there for some. ALSO, i am on the waiting list for the program right now. I will be IN the program in one year, and will become an RN in 3. I dont think it would be possible for THC to show up in a year from now...would it? I'm just trying to think things through first, but I'm starting to think i should just enjoy my vacation and stop worrying about it...

OK.. I know this is a wierd thread, but I'm just curious if anyone can come up with a reason NOT to. I DONT smoke. Its not really for me, i keep a busy life working full time as a supervisor, and i go to school full time at night.... I believe in keeping my options open for the future.... With that being said....is there ANY reason why one SHOULDN'T smoke in amsterdam? I figure its a once in a lifetime thing, and i guess thats the place to do it...lol... I'm traveling all over europe and will be there for a day or so. I know i've heard that you can not have smoked for 4 years before becoming a police officer.... I dont plan on becoming a police officer, so THAT doesn't really worry me. Are there any other jobs that you guys can think of that are like that? Right now i'm going into the Registered Nursing (R.N.) program(just got my A.S. degree and completed all the pre-reqs for the program), and eventually would like to become a Nurse Anesthetist... SO, are there any other reasons(as far as future jobs go) why NOT to? Please dont start with the whole "gateway drug", or any health reasons... Thank you for your time/opinions.....

How would I contact the BON? Also, are you just talking about getting licenced as a RN, or for the actual CRNA position? THANKS A MILLION!

Yes. Very much so! Thank you soo much for your time. To tell you the truth, the reason i'm asking is because a couple years ago i got caught trying to get into a 21 and up club with a fake id. It was a misdemeanor offence, and i got my licence suspende for 1 year. One person i know said that I could not be "bonded" because of that, and that i should make sure that it isn't required for my field. Long story short, I just want to make sure that nothing can stop me(legally) from becoming a CRNA. I am a VERY VERY dedicated person, who will complete the schooling once i set my mind/time to it. I just want to make sure that I don't waste all that time and effort just to find out that I can't obtain my dreams. Thanks. IF you have any other suggestions/comments, they are GREATLY appritiated! PS- A MINOR misdemeanor shouldn't hurt my chances of getting the job, right? thanks!

ok. So you just get the education, find a hospital that needs your skills, and they take care of the rest???? Thanks a whole lot! I know this post sounds stupid, but your time and info are MUCH appritiated!

maybe i was totally confused? Ok then..... To be a crna, do you just have to be insured? If so, how does that work? You just pay a certain percent of waiges, and then if someone sues, your covered? thanks for ANY info!

Quick question... I know many doctors are "bonded." To become a crna, do you have to get bonded, or just insured? How does that work, whats the difference? thanks a lot.

how much do they make!!?? Just curious

i wonder what the cost of having a record sealed/expunged is?
