I had an incident recently at work. I've was supposed to give
75 mg dose of methadone to a pt which was 8 small 10 mg pills with one cut in half. I ended up giving all 80 mg and later told an another RN during a medication waste that I gave the entire dose and signed me off anyway.
The problem is I didn't waste until about 6 hours later and it raised suspicion the next day and was asked about it a few days later which I confessed about what really happened. My manager told me that we would have an investigatory meeting and to bring my union rep with me.
I'm worried about getting fired but even more worried about having this reported to the BRN. My question is if this would count as something reportable. I'm in California.
