What are some of the dumbest things you've seen or heard from another nurse at work

Ok so it's after 3am and I get ready to get narcotics that need to be sent back to the pharmacy & find 3 different ones out in the open in the locked cabinet. The count sheets are nowhere to be found. The locked box that they shouldve been in is intact with other narcs inside. To send these back you have to match all the lot numbers 3x on different sheets and verify that the amounts you have are right. I put them in the box & passed on to the next shift that they were found not double locked with no sheets and that til I had original count sheets they'd stay there because I'm not signing anything and have it come back to bite me.

Narc records are by law kept on file for at least 5 years.

Found out later that the nurse that knows all and never does her work put them there and says she didn't know narcs have to be locked!!!!!

Ummmm.... That's why med carts have locked narc drawers! Pathetic. This isn't a new nurse just a lazy one they've got doing care plans pt which lpns are not supposed to do in my state.

I call her a halfway nurse cuz she only halfway does anything. I just thought this was absurd!

What kind of idiotic things like this have you guys encountered on the job?
