TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
For 17 years I worked as an oncology (chemo and cancer) nurse, working directly with unlimited quantities of morphine, demerol, dilaudid, and other delightful substances both toxic and radioactive. I had a variety of jobs, thanks to managed care and the collapse of the health care system. I was only tested for drugs once in all that time.
Of course, I never did any substances at all when I was working. The only drug I ever took that interfered with my performance was my asthma inhaler; it made my hands shake, and on the days I had to take it, I'd ask someone else to start my peripheral IV's (unless I didn't like the patient, hahahaaaaaa... just kidding).
Now I have my first formal job in TW, and I was tested for it! And from what you all are saying, testing is fairly ubiquitous. How funny!
