Okay, so I have been an RN on a busy telemetry floor in for exactly 10 months and 7 days after starting there as a new graduate. During that time, I have seen four different nurse managers and just about every kind of patient imaginable. However, this most recent manager has it out for me. She has nitpicked about everything I have done. Unfortunately, she dropped in my inbox last night two narc discrepancy write-ups from one night.
One, was I am more than willing to admit I didn't document the waste on because I was unaware that it was considered a narcotic (10mL of pink lady). The other (0.5 mg of dilaudid) I could've sworn I got a witness to document with me as my patient was getting around the clock down to the minute, but I think it may have been a new hire who may not have charted the waste correctly. Anyway, I have been crying nonstop. I love my job despite the craziness I have endured, but this manager seriously hates me, as she told me when I first met her that she, "Doesn't believe anyone inexperienced should be allowed near this floor."
I guess my question is what should I do and what should I expect to happen? I told them on the paperwork I would gladly submit to a drug screen to resolve this as I have nothing to hide. Please help, I haven't eaten or slept for quite some time now and I am tired of crying.
