Re: Helping nursing staff cope with drug diversion investigation
I worked in a large level one trauma center for 10 years and knew of three incidences where RN's were diverting:
1. First was a nurse who had been there for many years - was diverting Morphine for his own use.
2. Second was a a fairly new nurse who was diverting unknown med.
3. Third was a another experienced nurse who was diverting Zofran of all things.
In the first case, I had unwittingly signed for his waste which he didn't throw away. There were several of us. The second and third cases, I have no first hand knowledge about.
