    Can they rescind job offer due to this at employee physical?

    P_RN replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Bordering on asking for legal advice which we can't give here. Morally the "right" thing would be to tell them and see how the cards fall. They are probably not concerned so much with an employee...

    Does this concern anyone else?

    P_RN replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing
