To make a long story short, my previous employer accused me of stealing dilaudid, which i did not do. There were some issues with documenting pain scores, administering a dose of dilaudid to someone on a PCA (It was ordered and other nurses had done it as well), and forgetting to waste one time. There was not enough evidence to charge me with diversion so BON came up with 3 charges related to the documentation and pain medicine administration and wasting. My question is, whether or not I decide to agree to the settlement, will my current employer keep me around with a punishment from the board on my record? Does anyone have experience with this? I have worked at this hospital since September and NEED to keep my job to support my family. If there is any possibility of getting these charges dropped, I may tell my attorney I want to go for it because i don't want this black mark on my record. I feel like I am being made an example of and it is not fair. I didn't do anything that almost every other nurse on my floor did too. Any advice is appreciated.
