Really need support...kicked out of TPAPN

9 Posts

Hi!

Im really down right now. I was in a one year TPAPN program with drug screens and was stupid and took NyQuil. It came up as alcohol on a drug screen. I was told I'd be ok as long as I didn't get another positive but the next thing I know I'm getting discharged from TPAPN. I almost got my license suspended!! I hired a lawyer thinking I'd get my second chance at TPAPN but that didn't happen. Now I'm on a board order with such strict restrictions and it spells out everything from failing TPAPN because of a positive drug screen for alcohol, the level of alcohol and that I'm a danger to be working in healthcare. I had a great interview, really thought I had the job because the woman interviewing me had also fought the board so she understood. But she questioned the level of alcohol. She said it was very high. I told her the truth about EVERYTHING!!!! I don't know how the level can be so high from a few doses of NyQuil a day and a half before the drug screen!! I left the interview sobbing. How am I ever going to get back to work?? I get doors slammed in my face everywhere I turn!! I hate where I'm at.
