Thank you so much for that! I didn't know being a new nurse I wasn't allowed to do this, because everyone I saw who was training me did it. But I had a feeling there was more to the story and as I talk to more of my coworkers I am seeing I can't trust anyone. I looked at my drug test screen form that they gave to me just a little bit ago and found that they did not check the box in the on-site screening section that my test was indeed negative. This really concerns me, because the test was negative and verafied by two RN's. What if those same people turn around and say yes it was positive? There was also a break in the seal of the drug test and I was asked to initial where that break was. Now I am worried they are going to tamper with my test. I have never been so angry in my life.

Ok I need some advice. I am a new LPN, a BSN student who has challenged the board to get my LPN so I could gain more clinical practice before graduating. I am working at a nursing home now and have never been in trouble or written up, and the other day I got called into the office and got suspended. Aparently some CNA's claimed I took meds for my own use out of the med cart and gave meds to CNA's. I said yea! I took tylenol! (because I was at work with a 102 degree fever and they wouldn't let me call in!) And I also admitted to giving tylenol to CNA's when they requested it for headaches. I was completly honest, took a random drug test at my job and it was negative, then they sent if off and said I would get a call from the lab requesting my current medications. What I want to know is if the test was negative, why am I suspended pending futher investigation. (this also happened to another one of my coworkers that works with me every Friday and Saturday) Can this affect my licensce? And does this seem fishy to anyone else?
