Then she tells me i have to do another one. I refused do to privacy issues with the nurse issuing the test. Told her to test that sample. Was fired the next day. Now im fighting the board. Can't afford a lawyer so i dont know whats going to happen. Scare as hell. I have 4 young kids to feed.

Consenting to a urinalysis in the first place means you gave consent to retest without leaving the testing facility if too little sample was provided, wrong temp etc. Your best bet would be to go to a testing site and pay for a hair sample, provide the results to the board. In the long run it would save you money because a board order would include many years of paying for samples. Sometimes you've got to pay to clear your name.
