That day we had 4 nurses working.
Two of the nurses have to take narcotics off each cart. Me and the other nurse had to get medications off the cart that we needed.
About 6 o'clock, the nurse ask me if I was good with the medications, I told her no because I wasn't finished. LPN1 stated she was finished with her work for the day.
She started cleaning my cart off. At that time, I pulled the narcotics out of my drawer to review my sheets at the nursing desk.
I asked LPN1 if she wanted to come over and verify, but she didn't respond.
When I started to check the medication cart LPN1's phone started ringing.
She set her keys on the medication cart and told me she had to take that phone call. I kind of hesitated to take her medication cart keys. I wouldn't leave my keys with another nurse. I replaced the medications in her cart. As far as I know, her count and my count were correct.
Then, I received a call at 02:00 AM stating narcotic sheets were missing.
