Yep I have. Let me share the story. I worked on a busy surgical floor of a small hospital. We had an LPN she was great withy her patients and seemed to be able to do anything. She was awesome each night when she worked she offered to take the dreaded narc keys. That was before PYXIS and two nurses counted every narc. Long story short it seemed that patients were in alot of pain on the nights she worked. She was found to be drawing demerol out of the prefilled carpujects and replacing it with ns. She was put i9nto rehab and the union backed her. She returned sixmonths later and had limited access to the narc keys. She then started drinking and coming to work drunk. Again she was sentr to rehab and again the union made the hospital gaurentee a position when she returned. Finally one night she managed to somehow od on something during the shift was taken to the ER and again she was sent to rehab. Eventually she left the hospital and I do not know what happened to her. However thatnks to cyberspace I know she still has her nursing license. I just hope to god I never find myself in the hospital and wake to see her.I am not compassionate to or have any tolerance of a health care worker that is impaired and comes to work.
