Pregnant Nurses Prompt California Board for Changes
When 34-year-old Brittney went into labor on April 7, she faced a tough decision: take a required random drug test, or go to the hospital and jeopardize her nursing career.
Brittney (a pseudonym) was on probation in the California Board of Registered Nurses’ (BRN) Enforcement Program for a previous driving under the influence (DUI) offense and if she failed to complete one test, she could permanently lose her nursing license.
Since enrolling in the program, Brittney had complied with a list of 19 conditions as part of her accreditation, including random drug tests. Probationers have no control over the location of the test, must pay for each test out-of-pocket, and have to submit as many as three per week.
