    My coworker was high and got away with it

    K9lover replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    It is absurd, the drug scheduling laws have absolutely nothing to do with anyones' health. They were signed into law by Richard Nixon for the sole purpose of aiding law enforcement. Cigarettes and...

    @ Kooky Korky, 4/20 has become an informal sort of 'holiday' for pot smokers. The idea is they all light up on 4/20 (more so than usual.) Edibles are food laced with marijuana AKA Alice B. Toklas...

    K9lover replied to reptilesavvy's topic in Correctional

    I agree, I tune out the crimes. I am being paid to treat their medical issues and that's it, I have never been judgmental toward alcoholics/addicts which helps immensely as so mush of jail/prison pop...

    Although I have been in corrections only a little over a year I doubt nurses' license are at risk any more so than anywhere else. Uses prudent decisions-making, follow protocol and, to borrow from the...

    How easy is it to lose a license in correctional setting?

    K9lover replied to reptilesavvy's topic in Correctional

    I do not think there is substantially more risk than any other area of nursing for the nurse him/her-self. Inmates do like to sue but they want something; they sue over food, they sue over having more...
