How much will your employer know?

Published

long story short, I started a new job before starting the program. How much do they find out about your situation? Do they get a report of all your details? I don't want to divulge more than necessary information but so not want to leave anything out if they will know everything either and make it seem like I'm trying to hide something? Thanks!

My employer only knows I'm in monitoring. She knows NO details. And a good manager, won't ask why.

I gave minimal information. In monitoring due to addiction to opiates. Now. I gave permission for them to speak to my Casemanager. Idk what they tell. Just don't lie if asked a direct question. Doesn't mean you have to answer it. Just don't get caught in a lie. It's easy to want to make ourselves look better in the situation. You want trust and getting caught in a lie may cost you the job.

Specializes in ICU/community health/school nursing.

You will likely have to disclose as part of your contract. I can't speak to the benefit of being upfront first versus waiting until you have to disclose, but only answer the question asked (don't elaborate)....

Check nursys.com... select quick confirm and check off "full documents." Court documents are publicly posted if you have public discipline.

In my state I had to give all findings to anyone supervising me. I think it depends entirely on the program

I agree with Mel. A good manager will not ask. Share the bare minimum, and they really should not ask the details of what is going on with you. As long as you are compliant with monitoring, it is not their business.

You have to give your employer a copy of your KARE agreement and your employer fills out paper work monthly in which they send to the BOARDof nursing.
