Any RN Positions in Mich?

Updated:   Published

I thought I would write this and throw it out there to see if anyone can offer any advice / suggestions regarding employment in Michigan... I am currently in pursuit of finding employment, I have done so much research, yet with limited results. Does anyone know any Michigan Companies that would hire a Nurse that is in the Monitoring program? I would really Appreciate any suggestions.

One of my co-workers went to DaVita dialysis while she was in recovery. She was hired very quickly after HPRP allowed her to return to work.

Hi there... Thank you for the information. I actually did apply for Davita. Its funny you mentioned them. Davita is the only place that I know of that is monitored- friendly.

Although I no longer live in Michigan and never practiced nursing there, I can tell you that most employers have some nurse employees in recovery. Most employers have no problem with a nurse being in recovery/monitoring program, HOWEVER many WILL NOT hire nurses with narcotic restrictions simply because of cost. A nurse that cannot pass narcotics requires another RN/LPN/Medication Aide to be staffed, which many employers will not/cannot provide.

If you do have a narc restriction, look for places that don't administer narcotics (dialysis clinics, e.g.) and positions that don't require narcotic access (many office jobs), but some employers will still hire nurses w/narc restrictions for direct pt care positions. When I worked at a major metro hospital, I remember working w/three nurses who could not pass narcotics (unit charge nurse passed them).

Good luck in your pursuits for employment, and DON'T GIVE UP!!!

I know several RN's who were hired into Dialysis Units (Fresenius) and community mental health. They have recieved alot of funding from the government at cmh.
