discontinued narcotics left on unit for weeks

Published

I work on a busy short term rehab floor. We have alot ofnarcs to count and a good size pile of narcotics that have been discontinued. I am in New York. We have to stuff the narcs into our cabinet and we get new pts and narcs everyday. Are there regulations that mandate removal of the discontinued narcs within a time frame of days or weeks, or whenever?

If you think your facility is being sloppy with their narcs make an anonymous call to the DEA's office. That'd light a fire under them.
