Thank you all, I really do appreciate your aid and insight. Ive come to the basis that what's going to happen will happen but I do pray that my license will not be taken away. I will do my best to keep everyone updated and 1sttime, thank you so much, as well as everyone else, who has commented here for my behalf. I don't really have a comfort system and I must say that you guys and this site ahs been the most comforting road through this so far. thank you again to all who have reached out. I pray for the best and I really think I just had a "young, new generation" screw up but I know I have to be accountable for it. Hopefully it wont result in hurting my licensure however. Again, thank you all and don't be surprised if I reach out during all of this. You all have been very helpful.

I went ahead and self reported. I did find out that if I do have to go through the recovering professionals program that it will be covered financially. However, from what I understand I will have to go through an eval from a specialized MD im assuming. If I was to so negative on that screening and if I could get the point across to them that it was really a "once in a blue moon" type of occurrence, is the possibility that I will have to still do some type of treatment high? Or could they possibly understand it was a reaction due to a family loss...which I still shouldn't have done I know. Thank you everyone for your input, at least I don't feel as alone in this as I did yesterday.

I don't have anything set back. Im young and wasn't really thinking about longterm I guess. Ive already started applying for jobs in different professions but this all just really sucks. I was thinking about trying for unemployment but I was terminated due to a pos drug screen for illicit drugs...so im thinking I wouldn't get any help there. This was actually my first time having insurance... would medicare/caid possibly help? and do you think its in my best intrest to stay away from applying to rn jobs at the time?

Thank you all for your posts but Im still worried and confused some. This happened in SC and Im not sure of the rules for it all here. But, if I do self report, and say I have to go through a program, will the BON cover it since I am loosing my health insurance now bc of my terminiation? I feel like I really have no way to keep working and that im loosing my career path. I just don't know if anyone from SC has any relative info they could possibly share?

I really need some advice here. First and foremost, I DID NOT DIVERT anything, however I had to take a random due to suspicion and that test came back positive for a pretty bad illicit drug. Im not looking for harassment but I lost my job and was told I needed to self report. My question is even though the drug test positive was for an illicit drug (a pretty bad one) what will happen if I self report and should I even self report? Its not an addiction thing, recreational basically. I am really worried and confused. Someone please offer some advice! Additional info,, no Hx of any criminal problems, no Hx diverting. just pos drug screen for suspicion bc I was sleep deprived and showed up with an illicit drug.... please help!
