what ive heard :icon_roll is that if your a nurse taking any opiates, employers will not hire you. Because of liability or patient negligence... what do you guys think? Thanks girls for the advice on the question above.

ok i'm a nurse, fresh out of school. i had an accident after graduation, my doc put me on hydrocodone. now im interviewing for positions as a nurse. i take about 15-20 mgs a day for the pain. he gave me 10's and i break them in half, so not to use to much (i have a presciption). heres my question, with me being a nurse do you think my potential employers (hospital) will deny me employment because i take this? i had three interviews this week and supposedly if everything works out(drug test and background check), 2 have offered me the job. i feel that i cant tell the hospital im on these meds for pain because i really think they will look at me as a liability or even worse a drug user, like someone whos abusing it... what do you think? i wanted to be a nurse for as long as i can remember and now what!
