I am not going to leave the community entirely, but I will be opening another account so that I can participate in it.

As promised here is the long awaited update on the situation and my future. As I previously said, I sent an e-mail to the director and the program coordinator explaining what happened. I got a response back and was asked to meet with the coordinator briefly. During the meeting I explained what happened and I took responsibility for my actions. And then I got good news! She understands that life is dumb and that mistakes can happen. She also took into account my previous negative drug tests results (for work and other purposes) and that I was a recipient for something else (I won't say what, because then you can find out who I am). Therefore the school decided that I'll be given a second chance and stay in the program! I am going to have to retake the drug test now and I will have random drug tests in the future at my own expense, but this is a very small price to pay. If I fail any of these or refuse to take it, then I will be dismiss from the program, but that won't be a problem. So yay! I am thrill that I can stay in the program, but I know what I did was a dumb mistake and I will not make the same mistake ever again. I've read everyone's response here and I am thankful for the support. I know many of you will disagree with the school's decision to give me a second chance. Therefore I am going to stop using this account, since I don't want anyone to figure out what school I am in and hold a negative bias against anyone associated with the program. To clear some things up, my mom made a simple mistake that a non-medical person would make. There was no malice or ill intentions. I am not addicted to the drug, I am not going to abuse it, and I prefer to exercise to calm my mind. I am not going to be a junkie and steal patient's drug. Some of you might say I am not "nursing material", but instead I am going to listen to my mentors, professors, and myself who all say that I will be an excellent nurse and future Nurse Practitioner. So yeah that's it. I learned a big lesson, I hope no one else makes the same mistake as me. I'm off to prepare to do cool stuff and work on my English grammar.

This has gotten a lot more attention than I thought it would get. I will be meeting with the directors this week to discuss what my options are. I'll make an update if anyone is still interested.

Thanks for the support. I just been trying to stay positive right now.

The reason I took the medication is because I believed it was a very generic prescription for anxiety. That's the only reason. I was obviously wrong and won't make another mistake like that.

XNavyCorpsman- this was a mistake, a dumb one. I did not intend to do anything like this and mistakes will happen. Even you started a forum on an error you have done. I will be contacting the school first thing in the morning.

Thanks elkpark, it exactly as it sounds. A mistake. I didn't have any bad ill and my mom was just looking out for me (she's feeling terrible about everything right now). I thought it was just the equivalent of taking an advil.

Already defer once, not sure I can do it again.

Yeah a very expensive lesson. Well, I'll e-mail them and hope for the best. Thank you everyone for your help.

Thanks, I am trying my best here. And by future drug tests, I meant is this positive result going to show up anywhere else? Is it going to haunt me forever?

I am trying to calm down now a bit. My only concern is will this show up in future drug screenings for other schools or jobs? Will I be in any legal trouble?

Ugh is really all I got. Well at least tell me that this won't land me in jail and that it won't show up on future drug test.

So from what I am hearing from everyone is that I messed up. My only question is if I should go ahead and e-mail the administration office to explain my situation and ask for a drug retake. Or rather should I just wait until they say something? I personally think it better for me to e-mail them.

frick. I'm not an addict or anything like that. I only took one pill before the drug test. My background check will show that I only had a speeding ticket.

Really the drug testing company called me to say that they require documentations from me saying that I was prescribe the medicine. Otherwise they will go ahead and send it to the school. Wouldn't my school ask for a copy of my prescription as well?
