Life lessons

Congrats. I'm two months into my two year journey. I hope it will fly by.

Oh man. That is my biggest fear. From what I remember reading is that if you missed a sign in you can go to a lab and test that day since you are unsure if you were assigned to provide a specimen. That can cover your butt I think. Then make sure to call in the following day and call your case manager. Good luck

Well they finally posted around 9 pm. It just says result (negative) and the creatinine level. I was on my way to pick up scrub bottoms when I was freaking out. My hands have never shook so much ever. All that was racing through my head was (omg, what if, god forbid, I won't be needing these scrubs cause something horrible has happened with my results and I will have wasted money and have no job to pay my bills!). Now you can see why I'm going to go grey. And my poor fiance has to deal with me and i feel so bad. Im so careful with my program and have made several folders and check off lists, alarms, I'm always cautious of what I eat, drink, and products I use or am around. I know I should just be calm when I know I'm doing everything right, but it's easier said than done. I guess my self defense kicks in and I'm preparing myself for the a absolute worst.

I've been so anxious this morning cause I noticed a UDS test I took on the 25th has not posted. I thought they posted within 24 hours. I hate living in fear even when I know I am not doing anything wrong and I'm doing what I'm supposed to. I'm going to turn grey with as much worrying as I do. It's from hearing these horror stories of participants that are completely compliant and being disciplined for testing errors. That's my biggest fear right now...

Mines all public too. I've been fortunate enough to find not one, but two DONs that were very understanding and supportive to give me an opportunity. I hope everything works out! Keep us updated.

Breath. Just keep doing what you're doing. I don't think HR really has any business knowing about your stips (unless there is a criminal conviction on your background). It's really up to the DON if they can work with it. And if they said it's no problem you should be good. I went through the process twice!

Congrats! That's just the news people that are going through the same thing want to see.

Have y'all called directors directly? They maybe able to get you to go through hr. instead of HR deciding who will and will not be interviewing for positions. Good luck friends

Welcome.

I can understand how you're feeling. Don't give up! There are directors that are understanding and willing to give you a chance.

Congratulations! I'm excited for you! I really needed to see this. There IS hope! :) I have a second interview tomorrow. I'm very nervous, not about my abilities, but about my past.

Wishing you good luck Sally. Let us know how it goes. It may give me some glimmer of hope.

I can't give you answers, but I'm thinking if you have criminal charges against you dropped then what does the BON have against you? Have you also thought about getting a hair test?
