Yes, were I work @ we are being investagated for a whole card od a narc is missing from a pt. that expired. I was the nurse that she expired on my shift before shift change and when we counted it was in the drawer. The nurse who came on took care of returning the to the pharmacy box and couldn't get them to fit thru the whole and doesn't remmeber where or who she gave them too.Never destory a narc without a wittness .Someone took it and we are being blamed. It is a scary thought of being in trouble for something that wasn't your fault, If I knew who did this i would turn them in for sure.

I worked in a nursing facility for many years. The nurses then started noticing pain pills disappearing and not being charted as being administered. One of the newer nurses that was employed there was addicted to pain relievers and stealing them from the residents. She was needless to say terminated and lost her license.
But might i add..this is a incident that doesn't happen often and if it does, it's not brought to our attention.
