    Congrats on your sobriety! I worked in an Opiate addiction clinic and dealt with many nurses (former, restricted and not caught yet) I know the nurses that had restricted licenses had to jump through some serious hoops to be allowed to work anymore....
  5. Replaced by Certified Medication Aide!

    Don't feel bad, we got replaced just after Christmas in my SNF. Thankfully, I started PRN back in August to go back to get my RN. From the things I have personally seen this was a huge mistake on the company's part. I mostly work weekend 3rd now a...
