No issues at all

Yep, I told them about the DUI during fingerprints and she said "that's fine, we've seen it all". The equip or whatever it's called was more in depth but she just asked for an explanation and I told them what happened and I was sorry and she goes OK ...

Nope, no lawyer. This is in a different state but very similar rules. I just opted for probation with a mark on my license. The initial meeting with the board stated I get a drug and alcohol evaluation and the evaluator recommended just a year of dru...

You might find this link helpful: https://www.BON.texas.gov/pdfs/disciplinaryaction_pdfs/discp-matrix.pdf I have a mark for a DUI and went through a year probation and have an active unencumbered license. I got a job at a federal facility...

Yea NURSYS will show everything, no sense in hiding it. I looked up a former colleague and saw their license had lapsed in 2 states, both of which has discipline, and a third state showing they had applied but the BON requested a drug evaluation whic...

I drink a monster a day (the ones you described) and have never had a single positive for etg

I had an Arby's sandwich last night. The manager said there's no poppy seeds in the bun BUT after looking it up this morning it says it's topped with poppy seeds. Of course I was selected to test today.. Does anyone know how quick it clears your syst...

I did two dipstick tests at my hospital and they were both fine. I'm almost positive I'll be fine, I'm just less than 2 weeks away from finishing this and I'll be damned if I get screwed because of a few poppy seeds

Any of you with android should look into rooting your phone and installing a "GPS Mock" app. It spoofs your location so when you spoof it to the AA meeting and then check in it looks like you're at the meeting.

I don't know how IOS works but on android if it's rooted you could set "mock locations" which is basically spoofing your location to an app. I would just go that route and spoof your location to the meetings because **** that s***

The fact they didn't drug test you is a good thing. I would hire an attorney that specializes in this kind of stuff. There's a chance they can do their own investigation and determine the facility was at fault for their method of charting. Say they m...

Anyone here know of anyone who forges their AA attendance sheets? I know we're supposed to input everything online but I'm curious about what happens if they audit my attendance. Do they just compare the dates on my sheet to what I input into affinit...

I'm glad you posted this because I feel the same way. I started to try and be a little more social and meet girls but telling them (or anyone really) that I don't drink is such a buzzkill. Even if they say they don't mind I still feel awkward. There'...

I wish my ex had done that

I'm like 99% sure you have the IOP people sign a release so they can discuss your care with your CM. They will tell them about your UDS, there's no doubt about it. Talk to your IOP counselor and see if/when they're sending the UDS report. I wouldn't ...

Unless you saw the person pop a norco at the nurses station then I wouldn't say a word. I'm not even sure why you would consider this

Basically you'll always have those marks on your license(s) whenever an employer in that state looks you up. The state you do the monitoring program in will offer you an agreement to join a monitoring program in order to keep your license. You will O...

I've been vaping for the past 4 months and have no problem at all. I do make sure mine doesn't have alcohol in it. I asked someone once and they said only the alcohol flavors have a minute amount of alcohol in it

Do you have documentation that you were outside the US recently? Unfortunately these people look at drug tests as evidence you were under the influence at that very moment in time. My only suggestion is to pull a bank statement for the time you purch...

I believe there's an exclusion list of people that can't be affiliated with any entity receiving Medicaid/care (can't remember which). But those people are usually only reported to that list if you have charges pressed. I've done extensive research o...

I take a pre workout I get from Walmart and protein shakes and drink energy drinks and I've never had a positive drug screen, I've had over 30 UDS' so far. Yes there are false positives but they're actually fairly rare. The tests they use are very sp...

Same... I'm a single male in my late 20s with a decent social life. My problem was never with alcohol. I hate this program so much because it really has limited me with certain experiences. Oh my friends are going out? I'll pass. Oh a cute girl invit...

Ummm... It means they have other nurses employed that are in the peer program. Some hospitals don't hire any nurse in the peer program.

We use affinity, my contract states we will get tested 24 times per year, I've been in since last October. I've had 24 this year as of today. Anyone with a set amount of UDS' a year ever receive more than they agreed to? I don't mind the UDS, I don't...

I'm not sure how it works in terms of any official decision (meaning the information will be available online with your license information) but you will have to go through a monitoring program. California is 3 years I believe, sometimes 5. Random dr...
