I am working in Canada. I do believe there's something for error/incident. I just didn't think it happens to me. I always thought it would be paid attention if harms pts, and I didn't harm my pt. Thanks for the advice. If things happen when they happen. I certainly learned my lesson this time, just need to find a way to solve my mistake now. Again, thanks for helping.

Thanks for your reply. I was mentioning my pt be my witness meant that my pt only took half as ordered. (At least pt not overdose) Yes, I will do a drug test as soon as possible to prove at least I am not a drug user. I understand now they may still wonder the other half goes and they want to ensure that I didn't give to anyone else. I can't prove that part so if they do investigate then I need an attorney.

Thanks for your reply. Can I please know why it will be considered as such big effect. While I talked with supervisor on the floor (not me directly but the CN) said it is serious but it is not cause any harm and Pharmacy will just do a follow up. I graduated last year, new to the feild. I understand that medication error can cause lots of trouble while I didn't expect this. Also, what is drug rest. Appreicate your reply.

Hi guys, I just made a really stupid mistake a week ago. I was on my way to my break, a nurse stopped me and told my pt wanted to go outside and need her meds Because she had three kinds of meds, so that nurse wants me to administer. Anyway, I gave the pt meds and left. When I was back from my break, I just realized I had thrown the other half of her Methadone in a regular trash bin!!! Upon I was looking for it, housekeeping lady already took those bags away. So I had to report this to the charge nurse, and we had an incident report done. My patient witnessed for me at the time that I only gave her half methadone (She always knows all her pills) I worked for an agency; the unit nurse told me it should be fine as it did not harm anyone, while today I received my company's call and my manager wants to talk to me. I know I made a mistake and I don't want any to excuse for the consequence. I just want to know will this affect that much? Will I get fired??? Will this affect my license? r
