  3. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    SionainnRN replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right. But you previously stated that it was against the law to do a UDS without consent, it's not. You're getting consent and unlawful mixed up. It maybe your hospital policy to get consent or not,...

  4. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    SionainnRN replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes they need consent for the police or a warrant. But there is no law that says we have to have consent to run a UDS. You're comparing apples to

  5. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    SionainnRN replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That specifically says that it's for doing the UDS and giving the results to the police. That is a completely different issue from what we're talking about. If the police want alcohol or drug results...

  7. Stupid mistakes

    SionainnRN replied to New picu's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    SionainnRN replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    Man I'm feeling super lucky. I was at my new job for almost 5 months when I had to go on leave for 3 months. I was able to go on FMLA and get ST disability payments. Hang in there OP, hope you're...

  10. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    SionainnRN replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in the ER and we test probably half the pts and we never get consent. The voluntarily give us the urine, or do it unknowingly if they're critical. I can't imagine having to try to get consent,...

    Just a heads up the market here is super saturated and takes new grads up to and over a year to find a job. Make sure you don't move till you have a job secured! Good

  12. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    SionainnRN replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One of the ER docs I work with was telling me that meth is found in semen and if ingested can make the UDS positive! Now I've actually looked that up to verify, but it did give me a

  17. ABC TV:NY Med shows ER nurse fired due to social media post

    SionainnRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Most hospitals have a policy that states you cannot post on social media while at work. And seeing that she had been warned about her posts on social media before, I think the firing was justified. A...

  22. Statute of Limitations for BON to Act

    SionainnRN replied to lisaD_LPN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Why do you think you can test for alcohol in urine 90 days after consumption? Do you have anything to back up that claim. Everything I've read says it's only 4

  23. I want to quit

    SionainnRN replied to anonrn1's topic in Nursing Career

  25. When is your shift over

    SionainnRN replied to joe007's topic in Emergency
