Recovering addict needing some advice or anyone that cares to listen please

Nurses Recovery

Published

I am a recovering addict. 3 years sober here. I have been recently accused if drug diverting. Agency nurse as well. My urine and blood were negative for any kind of opiates. I really need someone to talk to. The brand new DON at this facility has accused me. Because my situation has turned into a legal matter now. Anyone willing to listen?

Indeed. She certainly did. I received what they are trying to accuse me of. I didn't document a,few prns I handed out twice.

I might add that you UA and blood work were not submitted to police nor included in the discovery

Yes it is her pressing charges which I find insane

I would be suing the pants off of that facility- the DON was acting as the representative of that corporation... if she wasn't qualified that is an automatic win for you- much like if I am working in patient care and perform CPR without having my BLS up to date- if anything bad happens that fact alone makes me the fall guy....

I surely plan on it lol. We just need to get thesettled chargeso dismissed
