   I gave 1.5mg over the ordered dose... I can legally pass meds in a TX Type B Assisted Living facility under my supervisor's license.

2. Med Error by CNA

   TriecyJay replied to TriecyJay's topic in Medications

   NurseSpeedy, Thankyou!! I totally do not feel offended. I see exactly what you're talking about with profit over safety, b/c my supervisor is a greedy one... I've witnessed exactly that within the 1 1/2yrs I've been employed here. It's sad and I have...

   Nurse Diane, I'm legally allowed to give meds, not cut them.

4. Med Error by CNA

   TriecyJay replied to TriecyJay's topic in Medications

   HouTX, yes ma'am, I would've had to cut the pill, b/c the pill wasn't pre-cut already... I've been praying about it and I'm not going to stress behind it either... I have until the 26th, which is my last day of employment, to honor my two week notic...

5. Med Error by CNA

   TriecyJay replied to TriecyJay's topic in Medications

   There's the catch... She was not physically there to calculate the dose... My next question is, I am still actively working here and have not been suspended... Can she legally fire me after so many days of me actively working since the incident??

   TriecyJay replied to TriecyJay's topic in Medications

   ArlyleRN, I'm not a med aide. My supervisor said she would contact the Dr the next morning. I'm not sure how exactly it sounds illegal or unethical, b/c I honestly don't know. All I know is that the resident is suppose to have a set mg amount of War...

   TriecyJay replied to TriecyJay's topic in Medications

   MunoRN, if you look up Texas Type B Assisted Living Facility regulations, you could see how my supervisor is able to delegate such a task. I had a in-house training, took a "written test" and my supervisor signed off saying I could pass meds in the f...

9. Med Error by CNA

   TriecyJay replied to TriecyJay's topic in Medications

   Thank you. That was honestly my biggest fear. I would like to add in I gave my two-weeks notice prior to this happening and if I got terminated, egally, I will not be paid my 64hrs of unused vacay time on top of my regular scheduled days. Knowing her...

    I didn't know him, but my heart is so heavy right now!! Because of AllNurses, I'm pursuing my BSN. I used to stalk this site day in and day out and read all kinds of information before I became a member, b/c I was so unsure of becoming an RN at first...

    Even though you have less than 24 college credits, you should be able to transfer the classes you already taken... I would look into that. The less credits you need towards your degree, no matter how few they are, helps you and your pocket book... It...

    Hi Shelby. I scored 85% on my entrance HESI with a 3.7 GPA. Now that's high school GPA, due to me not having any college credits. Good luck!!
