Let me state that I have desperately been looking for a new job. I am a single mother and have been staying at my current job out of necessity.
I work at an oral surgery office, doing conscious sedation. We had some dilaudid expire November of 2013. I alerted the doctor to this, and he told me several times to use it, or find another job. We also have midazolam that expired last month, I asked if I could toss it, and he said to keep using it.
Further, we prescriber hydrocodone in the office. A couple months ago, a bottle of it went missing. I insisted that we report it to the DEA (as recommended by the DEA), but he specifically told me not to.
My question is: as soon as I can get the hell out of this office, after I report this, can I lose my RN license for using this expired stuff? Even though I was only working there to support my family?
