If you are sick, stay home! At least until the worst passes. I was working the 14th and 15th last week, and 2 of my co-workers had colds and were working. Guess what? On the 16th I had a nasty cold, what a lovely way to spend my days off. Don't get y...
As others and I have mentioned in this thread. No its not. State BONs do not have in their regulations how long a narcotic can be on a person, that is determined by facility policy. Which, as shown in this thread, varies from 30 mins to no limits. Th...

" very important: at this point, if you get a pop up that says 'the candidate currently has test results that are on hold. a new registration cannot be created at this time.', it has nothing to do with passing or failing; it just means that they are ...
