I work in LTC day shift Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am being told by my employer that if I do not pick up Thursdays that I will be turned into the State Board of Nursing for abandonment. Would anyone consider this abandonment. I do not believe it can be consider abandonment. I am that only nurse that is being asked to pick up an extra day. The nurse that works Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday is not being asked to work. What are my options?

Both. She signs out narcs to residents who normally do not take them. We did not know cards were missing until we called pharmacy one day. We had a resident running low on her narc pain medication. We called pharmacy and they stated it was to early to refill because they had sent two cards of 60 about 2 weeks before. That is when all the nurses had to take a random drug screen and we started to count the cards.

Management did a random drug screen on all nurses. This issue has been on going since the nurse started working there 6 month ago. We have found cards missing on a few occasions and it was first noticed in January. Management bascially told the nurse whose name was forged that the nurse we believe is doing it is the only nurse that will work night shift.

I work in LTC and awhile back we had whole cards of narcotics missing. We now have to count the cards along with the pills. Must of the nurses feel that we know who is taking the narcotics. This nurse is always late for work. She gives residents, who do not normally take pain medication, pain medication every 4 or 6 hours depending on the doctor's order. We believe she forged other nurse's name on the narcotic sheet. She signs out medcation at times when she is not even at work. She signed out a medcation for 1745. She did not even arrive to work until 1815. We believe she is selling them. The issue is trying to prove she is the one doing this. Any suggestions on how to prove she is the one taking the narctics?
