I was wondering who you can search in the controlled substance monitoring database? Could you search coworkers and see what they are prescribed?

Umm, why? Even if you could look up this information about a co-worker what on earth would make you want to do this?
You do realize doing so would grossly violate HIPAA as well as a lot of internal company policies? You'd be lucky if all that happened was getting fired, more likely would be getting fired and being reported to your BON if you are actually a nurse. From how bizarre this question is though I have my doubts about you being a nurse. Even if you are not a nurse there's likely possible criminal penalties for unauthorized access to this data
