I work for a agency that works with developmentally challenged adults in Nebraska. I have been employed there 2.5 years. My med. license renewal came up. So, I took the competency test with the nurse. The staff that was there with me that night made it very stressful as she was forced to work my house due to a lack of staff. She was angry and cried, swore and asked a million questions. This was very upsetting and distracted me.
Then later nurse came in and the coworker said some upsetting things to the nurse about me.
For the test I gave my client her meds including insulin for my competency test. I found out later I failed the test based on what my coworker said and I did not wear gloves, She said I could never take the test again. I have no history of med errors in 2013.
I have general anxiety disorder for 20 years. That night I did not have a full dose of med. to take. I had a letter written by my doctor stating my health and medications. He said that he felt that I could function as a house supervisor with no restristricions. However the nurse said I could never give meds again. They did not revoke my license instead they just did not renew it.
I don't know what to do. This happened in 11/13. My income decreased dramatically because of this but i still love my job. I feel I should get to take test again. I willing to take the med class again too.
I need advice.
Thanks,
Marcie
