WOW! I am in Arkansas. Five children. My husband and I both work. I am considering surrendering my license after 20 yrs due to cost. We r unable to pay fees and have a home. I think this is a way of pushing several of us out of program without them looking bad. I have failed one drug test in 20 yrs of nursing and now gonna b starting over. Almost enough to push someone to drugs I’m thinking

I partipate in VDAP and had not been tested since early March due to COVID-19. Selected for testing today- Hair- at a cost of 176.00 plus collection fee. Just a "heads up" for other VDAP nurses since it is a significant amount of money in one hit. I expect Alabama nurses in monitoring or VDAP will be tested aggressively this month.
