I would have counted it as a negative. Any faint line means negative. Thats how we read it. Seems backwards, but that's how they are read. If you have orders you should be fine. I had orders for a decongestant when I first started, got a positive. My...

When we did drug tests on our rehab pts any line was considered a negative. Sort of like a reverse pregnancy test!

Yeah!! They have no idea what this feels like or what it does to us. You are SOOO close!!

Something like this happened to me the first month I started testing. I was sick with pneumonia and on a cough med (non narcotic). Tested positive, they refused to tell me what it was for. She insisted she had my med list... Got rude immediately whe...

Has anyone in Ohio finished? Aside from asking for release from the BON a month before their meeting what happened? Did they grant it? When did testing stop? I just want to load the family up and go on a road trip without having a panic attack.

You are so right of course. Just an extra 60 days. I have asked for early release, three times. I think I made her angry, my testing has doubled. (?ore than enough to make up for the quarantine breaks - which I wasn't notified of.) I took a refresh...

Was your end date AFTER the meeting date? Mine is like two days before they meet. If they make me wait two more months I will just cry so hard. I have no childcare, homeschooling, have to go to an urgent care for drug tests in an urgent care that is ...

I think my actual competition date is like four days before they meet. I really want to be on that months meeting agenda rather than wait an ADDITIONAL TWO MONTHS! Do you think I will have to wait??

Do mean you just have the black mark against you? Public discipline? How sad that a nurse who has fought and worked so hard is denied furthering their career.

I wonder how doubling my testing has helped my "recovery." Six years into this nightmare, three months left.. We didn't get tested for two months during the pandemic (of course no one told me this, so I logged in every day with a sick feeling in my ...

Well that was humiliating.. My urgent care had one after another patient walking in for covid testing while I was waiting. One not wearing a mask. I also goto pay 35 instead of 25 for the privilege of humiliation. I hate nursing and plan on quitting ...

I am certain I have made up for that and then some. Just got selected for my first observed urine. Of course on a day I work, so ill get to scramble to find someone to watch me pee after running my butt off for 10-12 hours and hope I can find a place...

If my understanding is correct its because you weren't under contract then. They dont give a hoot about how 'good' you were. I had a two year agreement but it took me a year to find work. None of that first year counts. Neither does the THREE yeas it...

I have a flawed hair test result as well, waiting for fss to contact me or the monitor. Im pretty sure the girl doing the cutting was super nervous and hated cutting my hair. Concentras policy is to cut the hair and put the whole length in the foil, ...

Listen to your lawyer. Do not speak to anyone from the board, let them know you have representation if they reach out to you. They must communicate with your lawyer if they know that. This will help you avoid implicating yourself. Do you need help, ...

I don't have permanent restrictions and are in Ohio for good. I dont have any insight into moving. It's so frustrating, the lack of information. It's like they enjoy giving us non answers and watching us fumble. All I would suggest is apply to the s...

All you can do is try. I have requested an early release four times since I spent an entire year desperately looking for a job while being 'monitored.' I took additional courses, a refresher course, and have been in complete compliance. Nada.. Not ev...

Woke up to the same selection.. 142$ Only I dont have an alcohol restriction... Cue me freaking out about this at work all day and the loss of 142 dollars we really need for a test I shouldn't have to take. My monitor looked into it and actually le...

I have three months left of a two year contract that was extended to three as not one place would give me a chance. I have been extremely lucky with the jobs I have gotten, nothing but kindness and understanding shown towards me. I am just so over i...

Cats, thank you for your reply! My concern is the 'minimum of two years' comment. They have me there. Of course I think what they mean is... we hope you *%$# up within the next three months so we can keep you on contract. I asked her if any addition...

I am close to completion and asked my monitor about the process and got this back.. Is it a scare tactic? One more knock at my soul making me feel even lower?? I just want to be free of this nightmare so badly. "Requesting to be release does not gu...

No advice just sympathy. How ridiculous is it that you have to worry about that and cant find the answer. Congratulations on not only getting through the bs of a program but continuing your education!

Thats actually amazing.. you are sort of being treated like a human! I have heard nothing in Ohio. I never reach out to my case manager. I get a snarky rude reply that insinuates I should be able to read their minds. Five more months...

No word on suspension in Ohio but I have not been selected. I have heard some states are putting peoples programs on hold, so their time 'counted' stops. I am so grateful that hasn't happened yet.

The treatment of nurses going through the covid situation makes me so angry. The health department sent out a survey asking where people stand on working/helping with everything going on. Our BON encouraged nurses to fill it out. Suddenly I am wanted...
