I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE MED CART AND SHARING ONE. I WORK IN LTC, AND THEY JUST RECENTLY MADE SOME CHANGES WITH OUR MED PASS. NOW THE CHANGES ARE GREAT FOR DAY SHIFT, BUT WHITH LESS NURSES ON THE 7P-7A SHIFT (WHICH IS WHAT I WORK), EVERY UNIT ENDS UP HAVING TO SHARE AT LEAST 1 CART WITH ANOTHER NURSE. FOR EXAMPLE, I USED TO WORK 2 MED CARTS BY MYSELF, NOW WITH THE CHANGES I HAVE 3 MED CARTS & ONE OF THEM IS ALSO NEEDED BY A NURSE FROM ANOTHER UNIT (THAT NURSE WILL COME DOWN TO MY UNIT TO TAKE SOME OF MY RESIDENTS TO EVEN OUT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WE EACH WILL HAVE) THAT NURSE ALSO HAS TO SHARE ONE OF HER/HIS MED CARTS WITH ANOTHER NURSE FROM ANOTHER UNIT. I LEARNED THAT YOU WERE NOT TO GIVE YOUR KEYS TO THE MED CART TO ANYONE. NONE OF THE NURSES ON NIGHT SHIFT ARE HAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION, BUT THEY MADE THESE CHANGES ON A FRIDAY, AND WE FELT LIKE WE DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE. THERE WAS NOBODY TO COMPLAIN TO OVER THE WEEKEND. THE ONLY LOGIC SOLUTION WOULD HAVE BEEN TO COUNT EVERYTIME WE SWITCHED KEYS, BUT THAT IS A BIG HASSLE AND AT TIMES IMMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE TOO BUSY. IT IS ALSO A HASSLE HAVING TO TRACK DOWN ANOTHER NURSE FOR YOUR KEYS WHEN A RESIDENT NEEDS A PRN MED. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS LEGAL? I MEAN CAN THEY REALLY KEEP IT THIS WAY? ALSO COULD WE LOSE ARE LICENSE FOR SHARING A MED CART W/NARCS? PLEASE HELP!!!
