Watch out some group leaders will make you have a sheet signed at each meeting. Also some have been known to show up at the meetings you put down that you attend.

I worked with a nurse who has had 3 duis and never was caught. This has been over 10 years. Not sure how some people get away with it for so long. Guess it never got in the way of her job that no one suspects. That is here in Florida.

I always dilute phenergan in a 50ml bag of Ns at 15min. This is to help save the possiable risk of hurting the patient and to save the site. I always dilute my narcotics cuz once it's in it's in and I have had to stop the push due to patients reactio...

For me I got my list and called arouund to the three they gave me. The one that was the 500.00 also got me in the next week. All of the others were more. I asked when I called. The DR I picked had a print out of all meds prescribed in the past year a...

Hello I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with death of a very close loved one during the early stages of recovery. I just feel so overwhelmed. It's like I am being tested soooo hard and my higher power just wont let up on me. i am strong but ho...

All of these are non narcotic so should not be a problem. Even prescribed narcotics are accepted as long as you do not use them at work. Just be truthful on the health form when you are hired and have to go to employee health and make sure all script...
