I feel terribly guilty and ashamed about this situation. I remember in nursing school learning about these types of situations and thinking ill Never let that happen and I can't believe that it did. Does anyone have any advice about what to do? Or advice on what to do if this situation happens again ( of course I would refuse to sign off on it) but immediately do I get my supervisor?

Well I've already done it so now I'm just wondering if someone will find out and if I get in trouble. I realized after it was a stupid mistake but I didn't know what to do.

I am a new grad that just started working at a LTC facility and love the job. I was doing the narcotic count with the 3-11 nurse (I work 11-7). We got to a patients Xanax and the count was down by one. The nurse realized that she had accidently given the patient two Xanax instead of one Xanax and another med and had me co-sign saying that we wasted the other Xanax. Is this okay? I'm having terrible anxiety over it and I am afraid I will be questioned about it even though it looks fine by the book. I new advice and reassurance!!
