Is it normal that some nurses won't give out meds to their patients?

I remember when being oriented some nurses would click on the EMR they gave meds. They would then say "I gave these earlier." I don't remember seeing them give it to the patients though. They would just return and just click "Yes" to the options. Then they would click off "yes" to the nursing aid jobs saying "We can click that the CNA's did these." Is it normal that some LPN's just don't give out certain meds? Also sometimes you'll see the same vitals as if they just copied the vitals from the other nurse. Is this normal in a nursing home?

Professional standards dictate that we identify the resident, check the order for the time, check the medication to make sure it is the correct med and the correct dose, That the medication is given the correct route then administer it to the resident within the customary time frame of one hour before or one hour after or before or after meals then administer it to the resident then immediately go back and document it was given. Narcotics must be signed out immediately. This is not something that can be done after after you walk away from the resident and admin. medications to other residents.
