We don’t tolerate drug and alcohol abuse. The use, possession, sale, or transfer of illegal drugs, as well as being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol on the job are strictly forbidden. Engaging in any of these acts may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Prior to starting an assignment, we’ll require all nurses undergo a pre-employment drug screen. We also may conduct annual drug employment screens and reserve the right to conduct drug screens in cases where there’s cause to believe that an individual may be under the influence. 

A quick heads up that this answer is a summarized and simplified version of the information on our substance abuse policy contained in the Handbook. For our full policy, you should consult the Handbook PDF that you were given upon signing your contract with Trusted!
