Random testing at the end

Ok. Now this is making me nervous the person you said had a day left on board order, did he not meet requirements, or have some logical reason? I havent heard from board and know I cant control the situation, I have no legal charges against me, although I could've. Based on posts. It sounds hopeless.

The man I was referring to had one day left until he was completely finished with his agreed order and he tested positive or ETG .perhaps he thought he was done and actually wasnt and they tested him the VERY LAST DAY. And that's pretty much what Oogie stated on her post also about her case.

The BON is definitely something to be scared of- not to make you fell worse, but it really is. They are not PLAYING one little bit!!

Oh, I didnt relate the two.

Sorry, but I gotta say this, having been thru discipline process before....

If you are ending your disciplinary action and can't wait until its over to partake of your substance of choice....you haven't learned anything.

So maybe its good that person was "caught".

If you are truly rehabbing and staying clean, then it should not matter one itty bit how close you are to the end of your disciplinary time WHEN you are tested. If you are clean....you are clean and test away, me hearties, cause I'm gonna be clean forever, etc....NOT ok, now I'm off discipline the 12th, so we'll plan my celebratory party the next day...WHoo hooo...WRONG! Just my opinion!

I agree with you (mds1). If your waiting to "partake" you really haven't learned anything. Making a better life for ourselves is the primary goal of walking this path, along with maintaining the ability to earn a living doing what we love "Being an RN". Not letting your guard down also refers to living in fear of the vast amount of products in our everyday lives that can lead to a false positive on a UA. From what I've read just using Hand Gel a few times is enough to give you a Positive for Etg (partially due to inhaling the vapors). Taking OTC Benadryl for allergies, Positive. Listerine mouthwash, Positive. Taking prescribed medications for real ailments with no intention of abuse (we are not immune to illness) ..... I could go on, but you get my drift..... I wish Y'all well, be aware, and don't let your guard down..... Peace

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU MDS1. If the first time didn't teach you anything you will definitely be in tpapn or on an agreed order again-count on it. Wishing everyone well and a successful road to recovery( or whatever your situation may be). God Bless.
