Because I was stupid stupid stupid. I'm more than old enough to know better. It was a random screen and I don't have malpractice insurance.

Hello, I've read here (allnurses)forever it seems but have never posted. I just failed a drug test. It was positive for marijuana and opiates. I took one of my husband's Percocet the day before I was tested, and I had been using weed for about 3 months previously. I had run out and since money was so tight I had decided not to buy anymore. The last time I used was 3 weeks ago. I know this sounds sketchy but I have no reason to lie here.... Anyway, no Rx for the Percocet. I'm afraid they will suspect I was diverting. I wasn't. I've called the BON and am waiting for a return call and am waiting for risk, the DON, and my manager to get back with me. This just happened today. I feel like I can't breathe. I'm in NC. My family doesn't know yet. Including my husband. Can someone tell me what to expect please? What should I be doing? I can't believe I've done this; I'm the primary breadwinner. We can't survive on my husband's income.
