What happened to those nurses?

I worked with some nurses who were shooting up with narcotics at work. One lost her license. The other went through addiction counseling and returned to work but can not access the narcotics.



I don't know what it is like in other states but here the BON is up your butt about everything. If you get a traffic ticket for speeding you have to report it to the BON. I don't like it but it is what it is.
