Thank you both for the feedback. It did make me realize that I am pursuing a job search in vain. Initially, when I graduated, my primary focus was in labor and delivery but I had to take jobs that were not quite in the area I wanted to work due to finances. I maybe should have pursued L&D positions/residencies out-of-state for more of a chance to break into the field. As I am now pursuing my CNM degree, I realize that I will eventually work with the population I have always wanted to work with, albeit in a different capacity. I simply felt that having the extra experience would have been beneficial. I completely understand the position managers would be in seeing my resume, and respect that breaking into a specialty area is not common after graduation. I feel that focusing in the other fields I have worked will be more beneficial at this point. Thank you again, - What Am I Doing Wrong

Hi all, I have read several threads addressing the use of medical marijuana use as a nurse, but there doesn't seem to be a topic of conversation regarding CBD oil use. So here it is. I am recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, it doesn't impair my career as much as it could and I would like to keep it that way (and keep my colon while I am at it!). I used CBD oil as a recommendation from a specialist but then realized that I could test positive in a UA. It worked great for me and has brought me close to having no symptoms at all! Can my use of CBD oil (which I have stopped since I was afraid of the UA) be terms of termination, even though it isn't a substance which is affecting my abilities as a nurse? Should I get a doctors note just to show that I am a legal user and that I am not using anything more potent? Just as a refresher, CBD oil doesn't make you high or impair your judgment in any way, there is no THC present and it is legal in all 50 states as long as it is hemp oil based. Now there is CBD oil that is more potent, but still hemp oil based that you can get in select states with a medical marijuana card.
