In general (n=1, heroin/methadone) I think not, though would need to inform
and probably be supervised esp wrt controlled drugs etc, and Nursing Council
will take yrs to make up their mind if it gets that far. But depends on
multi-factorial assessment.

Depends on the job. If a nurse administrator, being comatose with pinpoint
pupils would barely be noticeable

If a nurse was to go to see their GP about an addiction to OTC codeine
products would it endanger their job?
