im working in an LTC facility..we received an order for MS Contin 30mg BID the night before my shift...i work 6-2..the pharmacy didn't deliver it yet..so i decided to take it from our "narcotic e-kit" so i can give it on my med pass that morning... then i saw that the 'e-kit' only has MS Contin 15mg. so i decided to take out 2 tabs.
is there a law that forbids what i did? taking out 2 tabs to make out the ordered 30mg? my fellow nurses from that facility said that it's not allowed. so im scared and worried..
please help me...
