Nurses absolutely can get fired for it. There are no rules against it. When discovered it is reported to the state Nurses Association and they will put them into either a program either inpatient, outpatient or both. Depends on the employer if they are willing to work with them and allow them to continue to work or not. But, Nobody can make the employer keep them employed. That is a liability the employer must decide if they're willing to take. And you're right, second time around and you lose the license!
To the OP, Sorry you had to experience human nature in one of it's lowest forms!
If they are repeat offenders, yes.
But, from my understanding..if its a first time offense..they HAVE to be given a chance at rehabilation...
Maybe i heard wrong then... Who knows..
