Hi everyone. I have posted a couple of times but here is a new one. I got my first job as anew grad LPN a couple of weeks ago. I was given about 4 days orientation and then put on my own. They scheduled me 8 days straight and I was on 1 hall every night except last night. Now my DON calls me at home and says they found some meds in cups in the drwers with names on them and I didn't do it. This was the first night that this one nurse that has been there forever followed me and all of a sudden there are all these questions and they are going to do a formal investigation. There has been no problems or concerns until last night. She has a few years there and I am the newbie. I am so scared that they will try to scar my license and ruin my name. I do not know how to handle this. I want to just quit because if they aren't willing to listen than I feel i will always be a target and my license will alwaays be in jeopardy because of what someone says. The position I took as well has a great deal of turnover which I was told after i started(I wonder why). Any words of wisdom please I am kinda freakin out. i worked to hard to let something like this happen. PLEASE HELP

Hi everyone and Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! That situation did pan out as you said it would. When I went in the DON said she had to talk to everyone because she could not say for sure who it was but I am going to look elsewhere as there have been other things happen already. I work 3-11 and didn't leave tonight till 0100 just charting on things that had happened.Lots of family showing me things and of course calling docs and documenting everything. I didn't finish my 2100 med pass till right at 2300 because of things that kept coming up. I am almost afraid to go to sleep afraid they will call me with something else tomorrow. I have always wanted to be a nurse and am using this as agrowing experience I just don't want to grow old to quick. Thanks you guys for being there I really don't have any type of a support system here that can understand.Thanks again:redbeathe :heartbeat :smiley_aa
