Yep, it happened to me. Another nurse forged my signature on a narcotic sheet! I'm pretty certain I know who it was and am not real pleased with the nurse at the moment (obviously!). It wasn't just my name either.
I feel betrayed, hurt, angry, taken advantage of, etc.
I don't think I'll be able to talk to this nurse in a civilized manner anymore.
The one good thing is we saw this at the beginning of our shift and brought it to the DON's attention immediately.
I just came home today after finding out my co-worker, a fellow nurse got terminated. She forged my signature on a narcotic sheet, for the disposal of 19 Narcs. I only found this sheet by accident because my boss was off and I was charge nurse 4 days ago. I promptly reported this finding to my D.O.N. and have been a nervous wreck all week. She was terminated today and many of the staff members, mostly aides are furious with me. She was loved by the aides and patients. Sometimes its tough to do the right thing.
I'm sorry you are getting grief over doing the right thing. You protected yourself, your license, other nurses and their licenses not to mention the patients. Their anger is misplaced. Hang in there.
