I just "failed" a drug test due to my urine temp being off, is there anything I can do about it? I am clean.
Answer:
Give the drug screen results to your employers, make sure it has a date on it, and ask to take the test again. If they still say no, you might want to get legal advice.
Find out when you can re-take it and plan accordingly. It might mean looking for another job. As you know, there are MANY jobs for nurses--but not the one's that play with drugs.
I notice you didn't deny or explain why your urine was not as hot as it would be if you just urinated.
Did you bring in clean urine and try and pass if off as your own?
Yes, next time you are tested for whatever job, give them urine straight from your bladder.
That way you don't have to pay $60 to have your own 8 panel drug screen done as proof that you are "clean".
We turn away more bogus applicants because of trying to cover it up and have heard all the stories and learn new ones almost every week. There are no second chances, no apologies. You are now on file. Hit the highway dude.
Could you naturally have a lower body temp?
I know 98.6 is the average, but my average is 97.5. If I am running at 98.6, I actually have a slight fever.
you're a nurse so i assume this job is the medical field. do you know of any medical condition that would cause your urine to be a lower than average temp? if not ask a doctor or look it up on-line. if you have a proven legitimate medical condition you may be able to fight it. but the question then is do you really want to work for these people who aren't even willing to hear your case? there are so many nursing jobs out there, i would think you could find another. if it does turn out that you have a medical condition, be prepared to tell all prospective employers immediately to avoid this in the future.
