    Try to find an evaluator not on their list that they will approve of. Get the evaluation done quick. TPAPN is big on you're meeting their time table. All evaluators will recommend treatment. I was...

    Kel65 replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    20 months in and I've found that the addictive pattern is broken, it's a whole new way of thinking and living life. If I think of taking a drink my stomach clenches and the pain of of all I went...

    Option 4

    Kel65 replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I get option three or four now at my request. They have the ETG per my caseworker. I tend to have false positives on option one which is just the ethanol alcohol, so we do the ETG to avoid this....

    preemployment drug testing

    Kel65 replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had two docs tell me TPAPN doesn't test for Benadryl. I've been tested for over the counter banned drugs three times in the last 2 months. Doc's who are not MRO's do not know all that much about...

    Kel65 replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in the Texas Program, in this program if you had a positive EtG which I assume you had because a positive ethanol would have triggered a ETG to rule it a negative rather than a PETH it would be a...

    PEth Alcohol Test

    Kel65 replied to curiousrdh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is nothing you can do, drinking water exercising then is going to sway the results of a peth. It is a phospholipid in the red blood cells that would not be there without alcohol

    All Peth are done by a USDTL lab. In other words you will have to find a local lab that knows how to do the p e t h and is able to send it to usdtl. It can be a blood draw or a finger prick test. Call...
