Worried losing her license

[Fatima Marei]

This is what happened. 

I have a friend who is employed by a Travel Nursing Agency and got terminated from the assignment facility. 

She was called for investigation by the Pharmacy team because of drug diversion after a month of the incident. She's 28 weeks pregnant, working the night shift, exhausted, and nauseated at that time because of workload and 3rd night shift in a row, so she pulled out 1 blister pack (10 tabs) of Zofran from Omnicel without thinking what would happen. Though she didn't use and ingested it, she just drank ginger ale instead and felt mild relief. She brought the unused and non-tampered Zofran back home and totally forgot about it. 

The pharmacy team investigated her after a month because they saw her on CCTV. They said they are required to report the incident to the BON. She confessed to everything, told them what happened, didn't deny the incident, and what led her to do that without thinking. The pharmacy team even praised her for her honesty. The nurse Manager supported her and recommended keeping her in the unit. She returned to this Pharmacy team the unused, non-tampered blister pack of Zofran.  

They obtained urine drug tests and alcohol tests on that same day and of course, all were negative because my friend hasn't done drugs or drunk alcohol in her entire life especially since she's pregnant with her 1st baby. 

Right now, she doesn't have a job and her employer is supportive and told her that she needs to complete a clinical remediation. After, they will search and help her to relocate to find a new assignment, though they are already working on finding a new facility for her. We asked if her previous facility reported her to BON, but they said they didn't have any idea and would notify my friend if they got any updates. 

I'm really worried about her because she's pregnant, not eating well and crying all the time because of that insident.
