Nurses taking patients' medications?!?!


Recommended Posts

I told you about my cousin who'd just finished her LPN. Her instructor told her she did NOT want a job at a particular nursing home because the nurses there took (stole) patients' medicine.

 

So, dcousin was happy to get a job at another nursing home. Well, she hates it. She said they (nurses) give patients placebos and laugh about it. The meds have been prescribed by the drs, so it's not as if the patients are just wanting meds for no reason.

 

She wants to find another job. I want to report it. I can't stand to think that this is going on.

 

I live in another state and don't even know the names of these places. DCousin is concerned about her job (new employee). What can be done?

There are just no words for that. Honestly. I've heard of it happening, but thought it was the exception, rather than the rule. I agree with what Cadam said above, but man. There are no words.
