One of my best friends (we graduated nursing school together) is going through a really tough time. She works on a med/surg floor in a hospital in New Hampshire and has been there almost 2 years, with no incident. At the end of her 12 hour overnight shift a few days ago, she was approached by management and security and was escorted off the floor directly to take a drug test. Her manager informed her that the amount of IV pain meds she gave to her patients was higher than all of the other nurses and they believed she was diverting the meds. She has never stolen anything from her patients or the hospital, especially IV meds so that is not what she is worried about. I guess she had smoked marijuana at a party within the last few weeks, so it is possible that she will test positive for that on the test. She is aware that she shouldn't have smoked, but never anticipated this at the time. Have any of you ever gone through this or know someone who has? I'm trying to comfort her but I don't know what to say. She won't get the results until Monday and has to work between now and then and is mortified to face her co-workers...
Thanks for your time
