It was --------------------------

I agree

I've only been a nurse for 3 of those years.. I started as an STNA, then was the program coordinator in the Alz unit

Yes these particular ones were 2mg..

"You're the reason your father drinks" and "you look like you've been around" 😂😂 I love Alzheimer's patients

It's an Alzheimer's unit so the patient couldn't tell me and it was a new med that was hand written on the mar and PO sheets both were written the same way w a 6 over the 5, illegible. I was able to collect unemployment but the company is filing appeal after appeal.

If I was recently terminated could a future employer look that up with my license? Would the Board need to notify me? I live in Ohio.

I wanted to avoid calling the PCP Bc I was the 2nd shift nurse, the med was ordered for 8p and the Dr would sometimes get mean when we called at night. But you're right I should've clarified w the PCP anyways!

It's just sad. I worked for that company for 8 years. It's my entire resume

Yup, you're definitely correct! I could kick myself in the ***!

My boss was very lazy and passed off a lot of her responsibility to 1st shift. They were pretty much running the show, I didn't get along w one of the nurses and it was like she was mistake hunting! A few of us reported it to our boss and she didn't want to deal w/ it.

Yes, it was becoming a tense environment, constantly feeling like walking on eggshells

It was the only thing on my file, no other person was disciplined.

I was terminated from my job for a med error. I gave 5mg of Coumadin when the order was for 6mg. The nurse who transcribed the order originally wrote 5mg but then wrote 6 over the 5. No cross out, no initials. I asked my direct supervisor what the order was and she said 5mg. The next day I was called and suspended, 1week later; terminated. I'm considering contacting an attorney to see if there's any reason to pursue a case. Has anyone been through this? Or have any advice?
