I am a LPN. My husband and I went on a cruise and I smoked pot. I wasn't working as a nurse at the time but decided to apply for a position a week after returning. I tested positive for THC. I have never had even a speeding ticket. I did a year of probation, 12 months of urine drops at $50.00 month. My name appeared in the Board newsletter reporting my discipline and I am on the "bad nurse" list posted on the Board website. Its been several years and I can't find a good job. You can't make mistakes in nursing even with the Board knowing in the beginning nursing started with hookers and alcoholics. I gave it up and I am going back to school for something less demanding and less degrading. I wish everyone luck. This is one of the reasons why there is such a nursing shortage. Nurses are people too!!!!!!!!!!!!
