Meds from dead people. . . LOL did you ever watch the Showtime series "Dead Like Me"? one of the charaters was always looking for meds from the dead people. . .

You might be okay if they were accredited when you started the program. when did they lose the accreditation? Have you checked with the board of nursing for your state?

i do my best to get along with this woman. as for not taking a verbal from her i won't. when i give her medications for the kids i also give her the info from the pharmacy that goes over the medication and when it should be given. my boyfriend trusts me with his kids and we both want what is best for the kids. the mom comes and goes in their lives and we never know when she will appear. . . so it is difficult to have any relationship with her. i do agree that getting along with her would be best. . . but you don't know this woman. . .

I live with my boyfriend and his 3 kids. One of the kids has asthma; his mom gave us his Flovent which I was faithfully giving him each night as she instructed. When the dad and I went to pick up the refill I noticed the dose was 44mcg and the inhaler she gave us was 110mcg. I had only given him a few doses becuase I pulled the canister out to see the exp date and it was over 6 years old! After I learned it was expired I did not give him any doses. Turns out she gave us one of her expired inhalers she had lying around her truck. I was just sick over the fact that I had given a few doses of an expired inhaler and the wrong dose. I have since told her all orders from the Doctor for this child must be seen in writing since I refuse to take a verbal order from her. Has anyone else had this happen?
