RN_jobhunting

This is my first RN job offer so I had no idea I would be drug tested when I went in that day to sign paperwork (I would not have drank at all had I have known this). I thought they would give me a 3 day heads up and send me to a lab corp. So my empl...

Hi, I'm supposed to be a night nurse but they are training me on day shift. Day shift is freaking me out and is making me think I can't handle the job. Is it possible to be trained on nights?

so what would they do if they suspected anything? rescind the offer because they thought i was drunk?

ding me for it how? by calling the BON? or just rescind the job offer?

Thanks for the info. I just want to know if it's standard or not to test for ETOH. I think I screwed myself im so worried. It took me forever to find this job. Would they report it to the Board or just withdraw their offer? I can't have a ding on my...

no I didn't get anything. did they test for ETOH from yours?

I was still perfectly coherent. It's not like I was starting orientation that day. I was there for 10 minutes signing papers and taking that drug test. and like I said I wouldn't have drank had I known there was going to be a drug test I've learned m...

so you weren't concerned because ETOH is legal? I hope my pee wasn't too diluted from the alcohol?

yea I don't know what time we started drinking but I definitely stopped around 2am, and took the test around 11am the next day

why would they even test for it then when I'm over 21? so you're sure about that? whew!

thanks :) so you don't think they'll take back the offer as long as everything else comes back ok? just watch me closely or retest me sometime?

I don't know if I should be worried or not I would have never drank 1 drop had I known I would've been tested the next day and I would never drink before a shift. It took me 2 months to find this job.

I have no idea if they test for ETOH or not. I tried to google the company to see if I could find out but I couldn't find anything. Do you know if LTC normally tests for ETOH in a pre employment drug screen? They said they would call me for orientat...

:) oh yea I know, I've never had a DUI or anything like that. Do you think they'll take back their job offer? or report me?

Hardly ever

No, I didn't drive. My friend had a party and I spent the night there.

It was a urine test. If it's positive will they report it to the BON?

Hey all I'm confused. I know that antitussives suppress non-productive cough, so does that mean that they promote the production of mucus? expectorants create a productive cough and therefore thins mucus... so would it be the opposite? thanks

thanks. the question is "Antitussive drugs are generally used to promote the production of mucus" so False? they want to thin the mucus and not make more? or True? they want to produce mucus to soothe the throat so you wont cough?

Your client is receiving 1000 ml. of Lactated Ringers solution IV at the rate of 50 ml. per hour. Your IV drip factor is 20 gtts. per minute. At how many drops per minute should the drip rate be? How long will this IV last? shouldn't the drip f...

the gtt factor is different for different types of tubing. your question already tells you that it's 20, otherwise, you would look at the package to find it. i solve for a drip factor using volume x gtt factor/time in mins. to figure out how long it...
