CA Enforces Strict Stantards for Drug-Abusing Healthcare Workers
California will start enforcing strict standards on drug-abusing health professionals. In doing so, they will require nurses, dentists and other health workers in state-run recovery programs to take at least 104 drug tests in their first year, which is twice as much as the current requirement. If tested positive, they will be immediately pulled from practice and restrictions to their licenses will be posted on public websites. In the past, many have gone under the radar due to the fact that it would usually take 15 months to file public accusations.
