I have 9-10 months left of probation. All has been well in terms of my sobriety. I had my first job for awhile but for my mental health I couldn't stay there. Every nurse talked about my probation and would continually put me down for it.
Okay so I found a great job! However, it is sketchy af. The way they handle meds going missing(we had a clipboard/travel company nurse who we think stole 2mg of Ativan and 16mg of buprenorphine but the manager brushed it under the rug. There should have been drug testing done for everyone involved but there wasn't. There was no investigation actually. ....there is a lot at this facility that I believe would not be okay with the board of nursing actually. In fact, I said I couldn't do overtime without the approval of the BON and they said "we don't report the hours you work so they won't know" ummmm I still said no I'm sorry I cannot. I have to protect my license with my life and I've worked way too hard 😅
I don't want to throw them under the bus, but I also don't know if I can stay here. Would it be frowned upon to find a third job while in monitoring? I could technically slide by and do my 3 12's and be done fairly quickly. I feel like 9-10 months will fly by. BUT I also would like to find somewhere that isn't putting mine, and let's be honest, everyone else's licenses at stake with how they run things.
