Re: an odd question
Even if you have a prescription for it, you are not to be under the influence of any narcotic or street drug when at work. And even if on Vicodin or something like that for back pain should not be taken when working.
If someone is able to get a prescription for medical marijuana, it means that they have tried other pain meds and without relief. If someone is in that much pain, they should not be working in a facility, but should be taking care of themselves.
If you have specific questions on this, suggest that you contact the Board of Registered Nursing on this. They have specific rules that need to be followed.
