I work in psych for UHS and one of my fellow nurses admits to using cannabis on a regular basis. She has admitted to me and other staff members that she enjoys taking advantage of the fact that our hospital only drug tests during the hiring process and has been abusing weed the entire time. I think she has almost 10 years in at our facility as a medication nurse. This nurse claims she even has a friend who will provide her urine in the event of possible drug test. In terms of her work performance, she stays off the radar. She's very private and isn't a whole lot of help overall. Ironically, she's quite proficient at incident reports when it comes to writing up other employees. She's a troublemaker, loves to instigate, gossip and pit employees against one another. Her behavior with the patients is poor. Rude dismissive and uncaring, rarely follows up on care. She spends a good deal of time working in the detox unit where there were several deaths in the last year (deaths are rare in psych). I'm not saying she has anything to do with those deaths, but it makes me wonder if her state of mind and attitude are in the right place in medically acute unit. I'm inclined to report her, the process is what I need help with. This employee has friends in high places, she's a dedicated brown-noser of the CNO and house supervisors so I'm concerned that reporting her may fall on deaf ears. I'd also prefer to report anonymously for the very possible likelihood of reprisal. Should I go to HR? What details do I include? Opinions?
