]This nurse I was speaking about has had major back surgery and I have seen her work in extreme pain just to cover our shortage in ED, and I do know it is breaking all kinds of BON laws etc. but she takes this only in a real crisis not that it's right but we as staff have never ever seen or even thought she might be of harm to anybody must less impaired. Most of our pm staff were shocked because I think everyone of us takes some type of prescription medication from time to time but never and the expense of patient care. I even over heard one of the nursing interns say she takes xanax and was now very worried about this information getting back to the ED coord. Once when one of our part-timers called in saying she could'nt come in because she had taken a T3 for a toothache, she was told to come in anyway and they would use her not as a primary nurse but a ED tech. and I must admit this was during one of our busy winter months(flu,etc.) Thank you Krissy for the info on the book I have already placed a order for my buddy to have. I must admit laws might very well need to be changed and I have taken out my comb to go over our policy book!

recently a friend who is very seasoned trauma rn was busted for using a vicodin while on shift. i can't believe she would do this while on duty much less happen to tell her pt. she did so due to back pain. she tested neg. by ua but was very honest when asked by er coord.-even so they dismissed her and now she is in a peer assit. prgm. for drug abuse.(state req.) by the way this was a drug for her from her pcp. confirmed by w/rx. this nurse not only has excellent skills/house/charge exp.& with more than 21yrs in-she keeps hitting road blocks when applying for many positions and with the restrictions they placed on her working-options have become very slim. she is not a abuser of narcs. and has been clean on every random test. i have been by her side and even networked for her to gain some type of emplymt. she has even resorted to working in conv.&book store to make ends meet..she has one child/single partent. i really need some encouragement and words of wisdom from others, i live in a rural area and have limited contact with others i can trust with this..
