  1. Social worker giving meds ?

    Chrys26 posted a topic in Addictions
    Hi. I’m new to the world of substance abuse nursing. I am working in a residential substance abuse house for adolescents. Now they seem SUPER under staffed, which isn’t alarming. What seems alarming to me is that when the nurse who’s training me (and she says it will happen during my shift too) when the nurse leaves and there’s no nurse to relieve she gives the keys to the med room to a social worker “or any other house staff” and they will administer medications as needed. I have never heard of or seen anything like this before. Is that within their scope ? (I’m in NYC) Supposedly they are “trained” to administer meds by one of the more senior nurses who works the weekends… I just feel uncomfortable.
