1. how to avoid dilute/abnormal uds

   dtanna replied to heynow1313's topic in Recovery

   If you are really worried about dilutes there is a very simple solution that does not have you avoiding caffeine or diuretics... My BP med has hydrochlorothiazide in it so that wasn't really an option for me. Drank coffee every morning before my UA...

2. Chemical dependency in nursing

   dtanna replied to aflahe00's topic in Recovery

   You say that hospitals don't tell you what you can do if you need help because you are diverting... yet you could have asked for help at any time but got caught before you could. Every hospital I have ever worked in has some form of Employee Assista...

3. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

   dtanna replied to Kallie3006's topic in Recovery

   I think most posting here would concur, that would have been the FIRST thing we did after being accused of something we didn't do. Hopefully she will update the thread with the results. Every day that goes by after they gave her the results and she...

4. Michigan nurses in Hprp

   dtanna replied to crazychyld's topic in Recovery

   In a nutshell, you are still dealing with an intake manager at this time. You case will eventually go to team on a Thursday where they will figure what kind of contract you will get. You have to have that singed and notarized and return in a couple...

5. Drug urine test after 12 hour shift

   dtanna replied to Kallie3006's topic in Recovery

   You can claim the Chain Of Custody wasn't followed correctly. They do splits to perform an instant assay test at the lab the specimen is sent to. If there are any positive for the usual 10 panels they test for, they then use the 2nd split to run GC...

6. Substances to avoid

   dtanna replied to SNB1014's topic in Recovery

   The THCA metabolite is not confused for any other substance when sent for GC/MS quantification. Continue to take your Motrin and Prilosec without fear.

7. Reminder to keep scripts for ALL meds current!

   dtanna replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Recovery

   Hmm... I have been taking prevacid, prilosec, and nexium for years and have never had a false positive for THC which is my drug of choice and I am tested sometimes 2x a week. I take 2 different PPI's a day and have never even failed the ASSAY test t...

8. FirstLab and Holiday testing

   dtanna replied to dtanna's topic in Recovery

   Too late to edit my post: If anyone reading this in Michigan knows of a FirstLab approved 365 testing facility someone between Detroit and Novi please let me know? Thanks kindly in advance.

9. FirstLab and Holiday testing

   dtanna replied to dtanna's topic in Recovery

   Thanks for the answers. In Michigan we are only M-F and I have called every testing facility within a 50 mile radius of Detroit and can't find one that is open. Even the ones at Hospitals (which don't say employees only) all seem to be the occupati...

10. FirstLab and Holiday testing

    dtanna posted a topic in Recovery

    This is my first holiday having to log into the FirstLab website. I have already called my testing facility and they are closed both Thanksgiving and Friday. Do we have to log into FirstLab on holidays and if so and a test is ordered, what is the p...

    dtanna posted a topic in Recovery

    Hello, I am expecting my Intake Manager to finally present me with my Monitoring Agreement which I know will consist of monthly caduceus meetings. I have tried searching on Google for where and more importantly when a local meeting occurs so I can p...

12. Firstlab/hprp

    dtanna replied to Mcm79's topic in Recovery

    Agree with skinnedknee. When I signed up to give my CC number (as you know not in a contract just yet) it stated only M-F. I'll update you Mcm79 when I have to sign my IMA if that info changes.

    Could you please forward me the name of the lawyer you chose? I am spending a fair deal already and have yet to even see the Addictionist yet, all 3 names given had over 1 month wait to see them. I'm sure they will try for the 3 year plan and my la...
