The profits being made on nurses forced into monitoring. Isn't this unethical and potentially illegal?
I'm trying to do some research on the business side of these agencies that BON'S contract with to do monitoring. The ones that I'm aware of in CA and FL are both "for profit ", and as far as I can tell, have direct financial tires to LabCorp, Soberlink, treatment centers and other providers they require us to pay. It is indeed a form of extortion.
I'd very much like to open up a dialog on this topic. Everyone outside of nursing, that I talk with, can't believe what we go through, and that someone is making a big profit, even creating incentives for failing and requiring more money forked out.
