To my ever lasting shame I have diverted narcotics and last Friday I was pulled into a meeting with my hospital DON, Manager and HR rep. I did not say much, mostly that I did not remember the incident that they were asking about. I voluntarily submitted to a UDS, told that an investigation would ensue and left (on suspension). I have been researching attorneys but have not retained one yet.
I have been through every emotion possible and I truly don't know how I could have ever done something so stupid. I am wondering if I even want to be a nurse anymore. After researching monitoring programs and BON protocols I understand it's going to be a long road but very possible. What I am curious about is if I am going to be arrested.
An HR representative called me today to say that my investigation has been completed and ask that I set up a time to see her. I have done something wrong and legally I deserve to be arrested because it was a crime, I understand that. I just don't know what to expect at this meeting. I know I will more than likely be terminated but I'm afraid I will be met in her office by police officers and arrested upon exit. Has anyone ever gone through this before or know someone who has?
