RN drank a bottle of codeine at night, passed out. I called 911.
RN emptied a vila of MS (RED), replaced it with NS (CLEAR). I sent it to be tested.
LPN wrote oders for oxcodone, over the course of a year. Made sure to be there to receive from pharmacy. POA called from out of state regarding a $5000 bill for oxydocone. Told him, no, patient not taking that. Not in chart, not on MAR, not in cart, no trail. Called pharmacy- they faxed me copies of his bogus orders...AND copies of every receipt he signed. BUSTED! (He even slid the original orders into the huge stack for the MD to sign, knowing that they sign anything without looking at it).
Advice: Like the digital age, the pharmacy has all kinds of checks and balances, every pill can be traced. So don't divert, and also never sign you gave a med that wasn't available- you can be found out. Don't do it.
