  1. Chemical dependency in nursing

    aflahe00 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    When I was in nursing school there wasn't any education what so ever about the high percentages of chemical dependency in nursing. After working as an RN for over 5 years, I only recently even knew...

  2. Drug tests

    aflahe00 replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What mark? You didn't mention anything about that are you on probation or something. Disciplinary actions in your license? So you weren't already working as an RN prior to this?

    aflahe00 replied to Hooven20's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    aflahe00 replied to Nursedina2011's topic in Nurses Recovery
