Nope ?

There is nothing anywhere that’s stated to use a pill identifier. But here I am in limbo and $5000 poorer.

Still in litigation ????

Thanks so much!

Nope not updated.

Here is the policy :

I received liquid Zyrtec today from a parent and just asked my supervisor how do I identify the liquid in the bottle haven’t heard back yet

I am back at work. And super scared to be here in lieu of what is going on. I have a lawyer on retainer that is costing me $5000. I am really thinking about just not coming back because I am afraid of what else they will try to sanction me with. I completely agree with you Why have me stay if you think I’m such a horrible nurse to begin with that you had to contact the board for me

I just read the book school nursing and scope and standards of practice I also have read several articles outlining medication errors no where and I mean NO WHERE does it state that a pill identifier is to be utilized to administer the right medication I love the insulin comment !

Will keep y’all posted. Apparently it can take up to a year for the BON to investigate

This is the policy ?

Please tell me what you think about this: A parent brought in a refill of clonidine for a student that has taken it since the beginning of the year. The bottle stated clonidine 0.1mg take one tablet at 1100. Correct student name on bottle Audit was done in my clinic by supervisor. Supervisor told me to pull up drug.com pill identifier and identify each pill I had in my locked drawer. When we got to the clonidine which are white and round, the imprint on it stated it was trazodone (which student is on for sleep) Supervisor told me to write up an incident report. I did, I told mom and the Dr. what happened-- that the student was receiving trazodone instead of clonidine. Mom stated she does not know how the wrong med was in the bottle. She stated she was sorry and was not concerned. I was suspended for 3 days and a formal investigation was performed on me by HR. My supervisor also reported me to the board of nursing. I am now awaiting my fate with a lawyer on retainer. There is not a policy written to use a pill identifier when intaking meds. supervisor stated it falls within the 5 rights of medication admin. HELP!
