I was in the nursing field as a CNA 1&2 for almost 25yrs, while hoping one day to become a RN , I love what I did and would always do the best to my abilities to make sure my patients were taken Care Of while being a single mother of 2, going to college and working a full time at our local hospital. I got a lot of experience because I worked in the staffing pool which every shift I work never would be the same. Well In 2008 I got devastating news , I was told I had stage 2 renal cancer, not to mention 2 days later I received a letter informing me I was accepted in to the RN program. Truthfully I was crush. I went though chemo and as of 2017 still cancer free, however though the years I've develop a few serious condition which causes me to be on many different medication up to about 18. Anyways I was told my nursing career was over and I would have to go on disability. Now its 4/17/ 2017 and I'm feeling I mite could handle being a caregiver or a PCG , I have been determine to get back into nursing one way or the other, finally my doctors have decided to allow me to give it a try. Well I just found out I have failed a drug test for the job I really felt I could handle, but the problem I'm having isn't because I do any illegal drugs nor have I ever before this has happen a few times when I've had to take a drug test for my pain medication etc. At first they just have assume I'm a drug addict until I 1) give them a list of all my medication and 2nd) a letter from my doctor. Then I'm clear unfortunately for some reason this lab isn't willing to accept my doctor note and is telling me I'm on no medication that would cause a positive result. Which is very upsetting and the only thing they say I can do is pay a $200.00 fee to send my urine for most testing. ( goggle top 15 medication that can cause you to fail a drug test, I'm on 8 of the 15) I live off $100-&200. Dollars after paying rent, electric, water, cell, insurance both car & health and my medication. I get & 24.00 a month for food stamp and my monthly check is only $848.00. So I dont have the funds to challenge it. Its not only scaring me, discouraging me but also making me wonder if I'm going to go though this every time. Some one please give me some advice or suggestion of what I could do Thank you in advance and I'm sorry for the long post
