   Thank you so much for your help everyone! I have that letter and I'm gonna save it for future reference just in case :-)

2. Urine test and Phentermine 15mg

   nylpn78 replied to nylpn78's topic in General Nursing

   I'm perplexed...my results came back negative. The health nurse mentioned that the dosage might have been under therapeutic levels. Whatever the case may be...training starts soon! He still took copies though.

   Ok done! I called one of the employee health nurses and disclosed what I was taking so that they know. They mentioned just to bring in the rx info tomorrow and they'll make a copy of it...I hope that's all! This had me sleepless last night!

   Thank you cocoalover! I'm going to tell them in person tomorrow when I go in for ppd check. The letter I got today doesn't really specify what I'm taking it only says appetite suppressants...I hope that's enough. I also have the little bags the meds ...

   Thank you! I have a letter from my Dr advising them that I'm on a diet program do you think that would be suffice? Should I wait until they call me or should I call them and advise that I forgot to tell them?

   I'm pretty petrified. I'm a fairly new nurse and I've just been hired for my dream job in peds in a huge practice. My concern is today I went in for my urine test and totally forgot to mention I was taking doctor prescribed appetite suppressants. Now...

7. Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

   I'm wondering the same. I'm pretty frustrated with my first job in nursing being a telephonic triage nurse in a peds office. I'm on the floor twice a month administering vaccines. I'm worried of losing my skills!
