Everywhere we go out to eat has to do with our bodies but some places you barely need a high school diploma or G.E.D. Where's the line drawn when most of everything we do concerns potiential risks to our lives? Other than fingerprinting, we go through rigorious background checks to ensure we're safe and capable of the jobs bestowed upon us. Why do "standard" regulations regarding our well being concern some but not all who affect it?

Sacrifice some element of privacy!? There's nothing left to sacrifice after this! I understood/tolerated all the background requirements but the fingerprinting is the last straw. It's as if you constantly have to prove yourself over and over that you're not an A-class criminal. After getting fingerprinted what element of privacy is there left to sacrifice, what kind of condom you use?

I want to know why do RNs, LPNs, and NAs now need to have their fingerprints in the system in PA. I consider this a huge violation of privacy for employees. Under what circumstance would they need the fingerprints in the first place. And I've tried to find the law that states it be required. Other than having most of my entire history, criminal background, child abuse clearance, and drug test, along with my SS# everywhere, why do I need to subject myself to more validity and no privacy. By the way, I have nothing on my record and have never taken (nor will I ever) taken drugs. So this isn't about covering up indiscrepancies. If you agree or have an opposing view please comment. And if anyone knows the law I'm looking for and could provide a link. Thanks.
