Hola, I have been a nurse for 8 years. I have a strong background in ICU. I have been on Adderall and Xanax for 10 years. I have always stopped taking my medication prior to a job interview. Always tested clean even though I always had prescriptions....

I am reviewing the BON website. It seems that nurses even f prescribed are not allowed to take any medication at work that is a narcotic. I've taken adderal and xanax for 9 years. Once my doctor put me on this regimen I became a CNA, CMA,LVN, RN, BS...

I've been a nurse for 7 years. I have been at my current job 3 years and love it. I have only made 1 med error in 3 years (gave 100mg of modafinil instead of 200mg.. We manually sign out our drugs and the narcotic sheet which is pre printed said we h...

Have you ever denied employment to someone who had a positive urine screen for Xanax and Adderall and had a legal prescription?

I take Adderall and Xanax with legal prescriptions. I am applying with memorial Hermann system. Could I not get hired because of this? Will I be viewed as week and unstable? any advice appreciated

Sorry ok so skiddish. I feel guilty I need meds. I wish I was just normal. I feel like they are meds that if someone worked hard enough they could get off of.

Should I call HR beforehand drug test? Anonymously? Or tell my name?

Thank you so much

You are right. My fear is that I will think I've gone long enough without taking them to pass. Show up, not disclose the prescriptions and pee dirty.

Excuse the typos guys I'm feeding baby

Is it ok to get print outs from the pharmacy instead of pulling out 4 pill bottles?

Has anyone ever heard of denying emoymwnt over xanax? Oh and icing on the cake. I have a congenital problem with my knees. The groove my patella sits in is shallow ligaments are loose. I had chronic recurrjngI have chronic recurring patellar subluxat...

First question. Did you take the breathalyzer test? Or did they draw your blood? I have a DUI Also PM me or email [email protected]

Are you allowed to get treatment by. Psych doctor and take meds prescribed for anxiety and depression? If yes that's what I would do asap. Don't give up. You can do this. Don't let them win.

It was ten years ago. I would disclose it. I had a DWI and driving with a suspended license and they still let me into school for LVN and RN. If they deny you. Apply for another school and answer no to rehab.

In this case the first order I would have requested was for topical lidocaine. Even a small amount SQ you can inject with an insulin needle under the skin above the vein. i would've made a deal with her, let me start this IVAnd I'll get you a dr pepp...

Yep. Just bring it back. Luckily you told that nurse. Don't tell anyone else.

I hope so.ive seen people post that hospitals consider nurses who take benzodiazepines a risk. As in impaired. I don't want to stop taking my meds. I'm great at my job. I've got a family and I'm in school. But I don't want to get shunned bc a hospita...

No, something I anticipate happening to me

Listen to uplifting music on the way to work. I take medication for depression and anxiety. Do something to further your career. Switch to ICU, procedures, get your CCRN, go back to grad school. USe this job as an opportunity to learn as much as you ...

Do you small talk with them at work? Are you uptight? Ask them casually what they are up to tonight? It may be because you are new.
