Missed a check in ...
We are all human, and the board will understand that. It’s happen to me a few times, especially at the beginning. I have to submit an explanation as to why I missed check in and also steps that I’ve taking to prevent it. If it becomes a frequent thing, it will be a problem. Good luck!

One time thing
I was placed under monitoring because of a DUI 5 urs prior to even going to nursing school. My biggest issue with this program was being forced into AA into because I don’t think this program is for everyone. However, I soon realized it was truly made for me and has kept me sober. I never considered myself as having a drinking problem until I became stone cold sober. It really has been a blessing for me. But I do not think people should be forced to do meetings. It’s unfair to the person and to the members. It should be a choice.

Avoiding a dilute?
I had a problem with dilutes because of the amount of water I drink and I love my coffee. I use to try and go first thing in the morning but I would literately be miserable. Try only emptying half your bladder first thing in the morning, that should give you a couple hours. I do that and still enjoy a small coffe first thing in the morning and I’ve been good.

pregnant in monitoring?
Talk to your case manager. When I was pregnant I took some time off from work to be home with my little. The board said I would not get time off my computer tract if I wasn’t working, but they did allow me to put my license on inactive status for a month. Depends on what you want to do.

Vent/rant on Nature of public forums:
I always enjoy reading your post! Well said. Your story is very familiar. I stood before the board and tried to convince them I didn’t have a drinking problem, only a drug problem. Yep! That was me. Many years later I am thankful for this program. Didn’t just force sobriety but a complete different way of living.

I am DONE! Finally
- Uds 1 day before completion!
Congratulations, your done!!!!- Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat
I would be very cautious in exposing yourself to anyform of CBDs. We actually did an experiment at work with a client because she was worried about her husband using CBd cream for his pain and testing positive if he ever had a random at work. She used the cream and sure enough tested positive for thc despite it being thc free. Hope that helps you figure things out.- Anyone else being GPS tracked?
I have never heard of such a thing. That is an absolute voluation but so is a lot of things these programs do. I guess you just have to go with it.- Probation?
Sometimes it just takes awhile.- Affinity and KNAP
I was in a monitoring with Affinity and test panel A was just there standard panel, ETOH, not etg or perhaps. I had dilutes so they starting testing with Panel H, and this includes etg. Hope this helps.- a day for reflection
Pretty inspiring, 28 yrs. is awesome! It gives me hope, hope my future and hope for all my fellow nurses that struggle. - Uds 1 day before completion!
