Worried about co-worker

[pgrsctrn2be]

I have recently started a new job and during the orientation process all the new hires are together for many days. So here's my concern, one of the newbies is always discussing her "medication habits". Usually I'm not to worried about what others do but in the healthcare setting I want my co-workers alert at all times (not asking for to much). Well today I noticed she took her medication 3 times in a very short period, and yes she has told us what she takes. (not keeping it secret at all) I spoke to another co-worker about this after work and they are also concerned. Should we go to the supervisor? Being new I really dont' want to rock the boat but I don't want a bad patient outcome either. How do others handle things like this?

I would talk to the nurse first , and explain that you are concerned..not nosey or judgemental..and advise her to make sure the supervisor/don are aware of the meds she is taking during work...I think that would be best for you as well as him/her..best wishes :)
