test results?

Published

Hi all! I am a newly licensed nurse and am on a board order to complete TPAPN as part of an eligiblity issue. (I got into trouble when I was still a teenager, but was legally an adult.) 8 years later I'm still paying for that mistake. Yesterday I took my first drug test and wondered when will my results be posted? I was expecting them today but so far nothing is showing. I need reassurance! Even though I'm clean I still want the results! I hate that I just started the program and I'm already so nervous. I worked hard to get here and don't like feeling threatened!!!!

Specializes in Outpatient Surgery, Psych, Emergency.

I am almost two years into my three year contract with TPAPN. I have had it take up to ten days to post results, but I've never had anything other than a negative result. I asked about it at the place where I go to take my tests (they've gotten to know me, lol). The lady there said that the tests are always completely resulted in 2-3 days, but there is a person at quest whose job it is to enter the results into recovery trek, and that they just get behind in their work. So it's probably nothing to worry about!

Yes.. I finally got my negative results :)

Only took 8 days lol..

And yes I do have restrictions, but they are not forever. Narc stip will be gone by March.. I can work nights.. it seems that a lot of the issues you deal with in TPAPN are on a case by case basis. I got a job in LTC right off the bat. Hope this helps.
