by jconan Apr 6, '12a nurse was recently transferred to our dept and smells like alcohol all day. In the am it smells fresh, by the afternoon she has that "old alcohol" smell. A coworker went to our supervisor and was told that this an old issue. that she has know for years that this nurse has a drinking problem but as long as it doesnt interfer with job performance, its ok. we must be able to trust our coworkers, isnt that interfering with her job??

Not surprised that they would talk about it. Certain it has been a topic of conversation quite frequently, right or wrong.
