Supposed to have my LPN reinstated this month but im having trouble finding a LSW who will make this statement : statement as to whether MR. Blank is capable of practicing nursing according to acceptable and prevailing standards of safe nursing care. .....im told there not allowed to make statement like this for liability reasons. Help? Advice? Ive paid thousands and jumped hoops for 6 months. My discipline w board was due to admitted occasional cannabis use which of course i no longer do. 6 months of negative drug screens to prove it.

Yes covenants not to compete are valid legal documents. I cant advise what to do but I would suggest contacting an attorney in PA.

It is my understanding that even if marijuana is legal in your state, the Board will not allow you to use it.

She said that they will treat testing positive, at all, as you potentially doing it on the job; you'd lose your license.

People turn to narcotics and cannabis when other measures have not helped ......people who use cannabis or narcotics gets a lawyer that tells them find another alternative.....I’m not the only one who heard this I hope?
