That administrator is cray cray. Run for the hills. You were too hard for your license.

He who has no sin cast the first stone. If your human, you have made mistakes. Some nurses have lost their compassion not me! Blessings

Hello, I believe everyone deserves a second chance. I understand the levels that she went through to override the medication. I understand we have a patient that is dead. If she gets the license reinstated it should have limitations on it. She can work in case management or with insurance companies' medication dispensing is out until the board sees fit. Case scenario my 70-year-old mother was in the hospital diagnosed with cancer and Mets to the brain. She was over medicated by an RN with fentanyl. They gave her Narcan to reverse the fentanyl. My mother was in agony I could hear the screams from the hallway when I arrived at the hospital. I was more upset they brought her back than the overdose. So, look at the whole picture. 75 years old female with a brain bleed. Not condoning but understanding. Valarie RN, BSN

Dear Colleagues, How many of us have left exhausted? I am not here to judge but to find compassion. If you think Adderall is bad look at the nurse next to you because they may be taking higher doses of psych meds. As a admission nurse for surgical day I see a lot. As my Union Director told me that could be you someday as we witnessed many terminations for nurses that fell off the wagon or coming in after partying late night still drowsy in the am. She had to get her child from daycare maybe she is a single mom. Lets not rush to judgement but ask how can we help our colleagues out. Blessings, peace and safety to all.
