I had a complaint sent to the board that I had incorrectly completed refills for various patients. All refills were for birth control nothing controlled. This occurred while the NP I always worked for was on maternity leave the doctor covering made the complaint. She has talked to the board on my behalf stating that I did the refills as she had taught me 2 1/2 Years ago. My question is I am applying for jobs how do I discuss this with possible new employees especially since I don't have a final decision from the board yet.

I guess it's just been so confusing to me as I have done the refills the same way for 2 1/2 Years and all of a sudden because a different attending looked at it it's a problem very sad time for me

I was employed at an office for 2 1/2 Years as a LPN. I recently quit because of this issue on my own not fired nor was I ask to resign. The NP I worked for was out on maternity leave and it was always the practice to give patients refills on their medications to hold them to their next appointment so I continued to do this while she was out. One of the attending physicians in another office who was somewhat covering for her said that I wasn't authorized to send in the refills and I got a written disclipinary action as well as he said he was sending it to the board of nursing. I don't understand what I've done wrong as I just continues to do what I have always done. When she returned she told them that it was the practice to send in rxs as I had done. The refills were for birth control and ssris that's it. I am devastated that this is going to the board I've never had anything against me. Is this something that I could lose my license for ?
