Work in a psychiatry office. That's where I work and there is no blood involved at all. Mostly vital signs and phone calls.

The hospital I work at pays all nurses the same regardless of department. They do not pay for a speciality which my friend who works at a different hospital makes $5 more than other nurses there cause she has a speciality. I am a CARN (certified addictions RN) but it is rarely recognized. I question why I even keep it current as it costs me $200 a year.

We had the same thing happen where I work but she openly told everyone at her job interview. I guess that made it a little less awkward but we had all seen her medical/mental health history in her chart. It was way more than I wanted to know about someone I work with. My co-worker and I thought it was bad idea from the start to hire her.but no one listened to us. About 2 months in she went to EAP and was out for 4 weeks on sick leave. She went again on sick leave again after about 4 month of employment. She told us she was so depressed she couldn't even get out of bed. She only lasted about 7 months and then just quit. I don't think my boss will hire an ex-patient again.

How about drug and alcohol rehab? There are no narcotics, bentos, tramadol, or Lyrica allowed anywhere near their facilities. There's really nothing there anyone would want to divert, unless maybe you are having some heartburn and would want to pop a pepcid. Also, there are many employees there that are in recovery. Those types of facilities believe in giving second chances.

Tramadol won't show up on a UA.
