SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
the front hall so when the medication was delivered from the pharmacist, I was the one who signed for it. I got a call from the DON, and she asked me if I had counted the medication when I received it and I told her yes. I also remember there were two cards rubber banded together, and I did sign for the medication and took it back to the Agency nurse (V18 LPN) on the dementia unit. I was not asked to drug test, after they found out some drugs were missing, and they said (V18) was fired because they suspected she was the one taking the drugs. On 11/21/2025 at 11:30 AM, V8 (LPN) stated, I remember (R7) was running low on his medication and I called the pharmacy to reorder.
The pharmacy told me that they sent out two cards (60 pills) so he should have 30 more pills, and it was too early. I went and found (V2) she was working the floor to let her know there were issues with missing medication for R7. I guess they did a count and (R6) was missing her medication too. I am not sure if they were able to find out who took the meds. I don't know if anyone was fired. I was not drug tested.
