I am an LPN student with one semester left of school. I worked the cart as a TMA last night (NOC shift). I was helping the aide put a resident on the bed pan when she asked me if I was going to give the resident her medications. It was 0330 and her medications were not scheduled until 0600. I said no and she proceeded to tell me that's how all the nurses did it because they did not want to wake her up again. I asked a nurse on another lane (who frequently works the wing I was on) about it and she agreed that that's what they'd been doing. I told her I was uncomfortable doing that (and that, perhaps, I was being paranoid because I just finished a pharmacology class). She said she would call the RN manager to seek clarification. Fast forward to today, I was called by the RN and told to not overstep my boundaries and question a veteran LPN because they don't like it. Kind of took me by surprise... There was no malice intended in asking the LPN about the med; if I wanted to get her in trouble, I would have gone straight to the RN. Did I overstep my boundaries? The meds were sinemet and comtan and I feel that those are important to give on schedule
