Hi all✨ Im nearing the end to this nightmare(10/19/19). I’m so grateful to have come this far. I’ve dealt with so much BS ( literally) from the BON. This is just one example: they said I had a positive Temazepam In December 2018. So of course I had t...

It usually would state weekly drug screens, or bi monthly screens. I would definitely call, and ask them. Make sure to have your consent order with you for reference, and know what you are talking about. Good luck!

hello, may I ask, how you got this expunged from your record? I still have a little over 2 years left on my probation. I was wondering, like when someone gets a felony and can have it taken off record, can this happen in my situation as well?
I am in CT, and on a 4 year probation. I obviously am having trouble finding a job with a narc restriction. As a LPN that is what we do mostly is push meds. So thank God I found a job, not as a LPN, but working in the home care field. I have been luc...
