Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Good Evening, I am a nurse in the Texas Peer Assistance Program for Nurses (TPAPN). DOC is alcohol. I have been following the post for the past several months and have learned a wealth of knowledge/information from this site. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have been testing for about 10 months and have not tested positive YET, but it is a concern. Is there anyone from Texas that has experience with TPAPN and knows where this organization stands in regards to Etg levels and the cutoff.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 >I was in TPAPN until I had a positive EtG of 379ng/dl. I never had any positive until then I haven't had a drink in 10 years and have been clean for 5 years. TPAPN said nothing about this test until then. The accepted cutoff is 500ng/dl but TPAPN uses 250ng/dl. The use of hand santizer can cause a positive EtG, as well as many food products. The 250 cutoff is indiscriminate. TPAPN figures they will catch everyone and let the attorneys figure it out. I am currently contesting the results with the aid of a good attorney with experience dealing with TPAPN, BNE, and EtG. For more on EtG try this site http://www.ethylglucuronide.com/. This site is maintained by the doctor that brought EtG to the USA, Dr Skipper.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I am also in TPAPN and have created a group " tpapnsupport " to talk about specific TPAPN issues. I have also tested positive for EtG in the past and have gone throught the BNE referral, hiring an attorney, and now back in TPAPN route. I have alot of experience I would like to share as well as offer and get support from other TPAPN participants. Please search for my group and join. ---- Don <doncg11@...> wrote: > > >I was in TPAPN until I had a positive EtG of 379ng/dl.
