Pyxis problems

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.

    What did the Board of Nursing find you guilty of?

    I find this very odd.  Because yes, there are times the Pyxis doesn’t ask for a waste, as in my scenario stated above.  For the BON to find you guilty, something more had to have happened.  You would not have been terminated for reporting Pyxis didn’t ask for a waste.  Especially if you provided one.

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

    Has this been made a matter of "diversion" or some sort of false documentation thing or what kind of wrongdoing did they make this out to be?

    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.

    How about the person who witnessed your waste?

    Always--- always--- notify your nurse manager and pharmacy for any issues with Pyxis. I have seen people accused of stealing drugs when all t's were not crossed and I's dotted!

    Normally the witness when wasting setting is set in the Pyxis server. Someone from pharmacy should have checked to make sure the settings were correct for that medication.
