Busted!!

Hello all. I am a RN and was just recently drug tested because of some moron that was trying to steal narcotics from our supply. When they called everyone to go get tested people had 8 hours to get it done. However, I was not told until 3 days later so I had some time to fiqure things out.

So I went to researching on the internet and ordered some synthetic urine that had the heat activator you had to add to warm it up. Everything was going smooth until I got to the john and the damn temp strip wasn't reading on the bottle. On top of that the bottle was getting real hot and I knew it wasn't in the correct temp range. So I bit the bullet and pissed.

Few days later they informed me of testing postive for THC and that I can't go back to work until I test clean. In addition, they notified the state nursing board of my drug test and have required me to go through their rehab program. Yeah, it really sucks. :mad:

Anyway, I researched on the net about the urinator and think that's the best way to go. Dilution method seems a bit too risky for me. I did a test run and after 3 hours it was reading 96 F. Not too shabby if you ask me. Overall I thought the kit was well put together and hopefully will help me get through this bullshit. Of course I could quit for awhile but being a daily toker will take some time to get out of my system. It sucks that mary jane stays in your system so long. I'll probably get tested again tomorrow so I'll post an update of how it goes.

What synthetic urine did you buy?

Awww... sorry about that sweetie. That majorly sucks.

So I went to my rehab meeting today for the first time. I'ts all bullshit but the woman I spook with told me that I had very high THC levels in the urine (220) and that it was one of the highest she has seen with a random drug screening. She doesn't expect me to test clean for a month because of this high level. Of course, before this was brought to light I told her that I took a few hits off one joint several weeks ago. She told me that with levels that high it usually comes from daily smokers. The truth being is that I do smoke daily:jointsmile: . Problem is I get tested this Friday and will being using synthetic urine to pass negative but this lady I'm afraid will think something is up. Any suggestions?

My suggestion to you would be to give up the reefer for a while. It sucks, I know (I'm currently clean for a little while), but it really is the best thing you can do. Substitution is a great method for folks that haven't been caught, and the testers don't know they smoke green. YOU, on the other hand, have been caught, and have been told by a nurse that you will take a month to get clean. If you pop up clean a few days later after having "unheard of" high levels in your urine, they're probably going to know something is up. You're already in trouble, and I'd hate to see you get in even more trouble. Reefer is amazing stuff, but it's not worth losing everything over. My advice to you is to quit for now, wait until you're back at work after being deemed "clean", and THEN worry about substitution.

Well, I guess I'll start tomorrow because I just smoked a bowl, very nicely baked right now. Anyway, it'll be hard not to smoke but like you said it's not worth my license. They are already notifing the Board of Nursing of my drug test. But for now I'll enjory this last stone. :)

Ahh dude that sucks. RN huh? yeh theres a demand for them...anyways that really does suck. they will probably get suspicious if you come out clean on the drug test. so just quit for a while. then you will be back to normal.
I hear alot of people stealing drugs from the Narcotics and stuff..its stupid. lol
good luck bro.

Well then, relish your last high for a while. I remember mine quite fondly. I've abstained for about a month now, myself (waiting to make sure they don't pop randoms at the new job), and though it really sucks for the first week or two, it's not really all that bad to get used to. Not as bad as quitting cigarettes, by far. One thing it does is give you the ability to really have something to look forward to down the line. Good luck on your path to cleanliness, hon. When it's all over, and things are back to normal, you'll be glad you did.

DougyFresh, :spamsign:

Ignore this DougyFresh guy. Completely ignore him, and pretend he didn't even post at all. He is posting that response on every single drug testing thread, without even reading them.

There ARE no 100% fool proof magic potions to pass you on a test.

I'm getting sick and tired of all of the cons that are seen on the drug testing scene. Drug testing is already a huge business on both ends. The other day when I went to the rehab meeting, the councelor informed me that I would have to go to a program for 10 weeks for drug education as part of their "action plan." This is going to cost me out of my pocket $50/week! That's $500! In addition they are wanting me to take drug testing out of pocket so they can see where my levels are and how soon I can return to work. This will prob run me 30-50 bucks a pop. Such a money scam:mad:

Anyway, against my better judgement and prior suggestions I think I'm going to try to substitute this Friday and see what happens. If I don't I'm looking at a month or longer (im 6'2" 220lbs and a daily toker) of no work until I get clean, so I think i'll try risking it. One of the nice things about nursing is that there really is a very high demand for work. There has been numerous RN's I know that are on their 4th offence and still working at the hospital! And these RN's were stealing narcs!

Intially I told the rehab place I smoked a week prior to my testing, but called back today to inform them that it was actually two days prior, hence for the high THC level. I just told them some bullshit story and think they bought it. If they get suspicious I will tell them that I have been hitting the gym everyday and drinking lots of water to get it out of my system. I'll be using the urinator, which I think is one of the better systems out there. Plus a friend of mine who I work with tested dirty (he smokes more than I do and is more overweitght, his levels have got to be higher than mine) at the same time so he's going to try to test clean this Friday as well. He's using a different system, some drink shit he thinks will work.

I'll post another update as the plot unfolds. I'm supposed to meet with the rehab folks next Thursday so I should have a better idea of what I'm dealing with.
