Providers Who Use Prescription Drugs

[Heidi]

Do what your regs require of you. If a doctor's clearance is what's needed, then get that. In WI we need a medical clearance form signed.

Well from my expire nice as a nurse, lots of nurses were on chronic daily pain medication for legit emits problems and cared doe by pan diction etc. there is a way to tell if a nurse is impaired. Howevr, this happens all over the world. Funny(or not) rarely could even a pro tell which nurses are on daily narcotic pills a day,,

True. My BF is a traveling nurse. She's on prescription pain pills and has been for many years. She seems to be in very high demand for her work, and it doesn't seem to impair her in the least. She had to go off the pain killers during her clinicals (I'm not really sure what that means) and then she went back on. She was more impaired while in pain than she is on pain meds.

I think most of us would be surprised how many people we trust to take care of us, or our kids are using prescription drugs to manage pain or other issues.

I think some of us are overreacting.

I'm calling bologna.....as the daughter of a nurse who nannied for all her doctors and grew up with all her nurse friends as aunts.

Spotting an individual on narcotics isn't rocket science. It's why without running a tox screen ER docs can peg seekers a mile away.

Yup. Mods have special magic voodoo powers.

I'm at a confused point now. What do you mean? You mean how to tell if posters on here are on prescription plain medications ?

I mean I (and other mods) know who you are.

Your view of "unregistered" posters is different than ours.

Wait. Now i'm confused. Someone P.M me and enlighten me, because I seem to be missing something obvious.

As a mother, I would want to know. And no, I wouldn't leave my daughter in your care.

As a provider, I feel it is nobody's business and you shouldn't have to disclose.

Hypocritical? Yep. But at least I'm honest

LOL.. I didn't know that.

If it were Friday, i'd come back and post a controversial post under an unregistered name just to make the day go a little faster. It's been a while since we've had something to bicker about.

No I am not.
