I doubt she will be terminated. This is a very common problem to the point where they have programs for medical staff w drug and alcohol addiction. And even IF she got fired, the reason would not be you, it would be that she refused to follow their rules. And publuc safety is the reason for their rules. This one's not your's to bear any guilt for.

Then they can talk to her nursing manager and see how to proceed.

Well, I'm not sure if this was the right thing to do but myself and a few friends tried to talk to her and basically said if she didn't clean up by Jan 1st. we would report her to the hospital administration. I really wish I wasn't in this position but can not have peace of mind knowing other peoples lives are in her hands. Time will tell.
