Hello everyone. 2 years ago I was placed on probation in California. I've satisfied each of my requirements but 1. I have NO idea where to find these classes. Please do not leave a comment that isn't helpful to what I need. Here is the requirement: 1. 12 hours of Nursing Practice: a. Patient safety related to an impaired healthcare provider (6 hours) b. Nursing management of controlled substances (6 hours) Please leave the website name here. The moderator at the BRN is less than useless when I asked for help finding these. I swear it is like trying to locate a specific needle in a pile of needles.

I found all of mine at AAACEUS.COM

They're saying I diverted 0.5 tab Norco. Even the Pyxis showed I wasted it and it would not let a witness cosign. The manager was out to terminate me ever since I married my husband. That and I hated trump and she was a diehard trumptard. I'm not just saying these things. I have signed affidavits attesting to this.

Nothing more happened and that's exactly why I'm suing the hospital, the manager, and the DON.

BTDT, yes, that is exactly what happened. They said that since that issue never happened to anyone else then I must be lying. They wouldn't even let me show them exactly what happened. I pulled out the medication, pulled out what I needed from the vial. Another RN witnessed the amount and since the Pyxis did not ask for a witness to waste, we both charted on the MAR of that patient. I brought it to the attention of our manager who promptly wrote me up, reported me to the Board, and terminated me. Now the Board, in their one-sided "wisdom" investigated me and found me "guilty". I am now on 3 years probation, have to pay the state back for the amount spent on their "investigation", and have to try to find a job that will hire a nurse with a probationary license. I refused to sign an admission of guilt by the board because I have every intention of suing the hospital, the manager, and the DON. My lawyer took the case pro bono because she said it is a very good case and we should have no trouble winning in court.

yes, I understand that even if the Pyxis didn't ask for a waste that I have to document it with a witness. I did document with a witness and when I told the manager about the Pyxis not asking for a witness she basically called me a liar "because nobody else reported that issue". My ORIGINAL question was "HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THE ISSUE OF THE PYXIS NOT ASKING FOR A WITNESS?" With all due respect, I don't really care if you don't use Pyxis, glad you don't use Pyxis, or you use Omnicell. I am looking for answers to my question. I don't enjoy being called a liar when the Pyxis DIDN'T ask for a witness.

Have you had any glitches in your Pyxis station that the Pyxis does NOT ask for a witness to waste a narcotic? It has happened to me at least 3 times. I brought it to the attention of the supervisor but instead of trying to figure out what happened, she reported me to the board for narcotic diversion. I am now facing the prospect of losing my nursing license or at the very least go on 3 years probation. I have contacted the Pyxis manufacturer but after 3 months have still not heard from them. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

When wasting narcotics we need another nurse to witness the waste with in the Pyxis. Here is my problem, have any of you ever went to waste a narcotic and the Pyxis DIDN'T ask for a witness? It has happened to me a few times. Now I am being brought in front of the BRN for investigation regarding this issue. I have contacted the Pyxis manufacturer but still have not heard back from them. It would help me if any of you could post if this has ever happened to you. The hospital that I worked at basically called me a liar and terminated me for this.

I drive 35 miles each way to work.

I have been pulled over 3 times going home from work wearing my RN badge. I have been given a warning each time. I was only pulled over once for speeding (85 in a 70). Once for using the carpool lane with only me in the car, and the other was failure to merge left due to emergency vehicle on right side of road.
