Medication Problem Please Help

I have been a nurse since January. I was placed on suspension until monday when I meet with my manager and human resources. I was covering for a nurse at lunch. I gave one of her pt pain medication. When she came back from lunch her pt claimed she never got any pain medication from me. I went into the room with that nurse and told her this is the pt I gave the med to. Anyway, she put in an incident report even though nothing happened. My manager made me sign a paper sating that I am on suspension due to medication administration discrepencies. So now I am wondering if when I have been pulling my meds and i turn around to put them on the counter and someone says hey can I grab something real quick they aren't signing me out and they are grabbing things under my number. No matter what it is my fault. Does anyone have any advice??????????? I would appreciate anything!!!!

never, never, sign anything that you dont agree with.......get in touch with your malpractice insurer. And, yes, be very carefull around the pyxis/omnicell, whatever machine you work place has...... if this was a narc, did they demand a urine spec?

It was a narc and they did not do a drug test. They just went ahead and fired me. So I now have on my record that I was fired due to med discrep and they said they have to turn me over to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. They couldn't tell me how long it would be before I heard from the board or anything. I am an LPN and am supposed to start career ladder RN program in August. Does anyone know about how long it will be before my hearing?

get in touch with your malpractice insurer, NOW! if you dont have any find a nurse attorney, someone who has dealt with the Board before.....if the facts are as you present them, something stinks......good luck

Be very careful in nursing as you have seen. There are more snakes than you can count. I am truly sorry to hear of your story. Most nurses know that with narcotics one must be extra careful, a lot can happen if proper documentation or a discrepancy occurs. I think you can go ahead with you education in the meantime and wait on the hearing. Yeah you definitely need a good lawyer and remember just do your own meds ;-)
