   Wouldn't it be smarter to just quit your job if they were going to drug test you and you knew you would come up positive? Seems like a more logical solution than risking losing your RN license. Of...

   dmmlayton replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

   I think there needs to be new regulations on how marijuana is tested for in drug tests. It's not logical that a substance could be in your system for so long and yet an RN could lose their license due...
