I got called down to a residents room, I placed blister-pack medications underneath some paper at the nurse station, which was a lapse in protocol. When I later gathered by belongings to leave, I inadvertently picked up the papers with the blister packs underneath and placed them into my bag without realizing the medications were included. I was unaware that the mediations were in my possession until I was stopped by law enforcement for an unrelated matter, at which time a search revealed the blister packs. There was no intent to remove, conceal, divert, or misuse medications. I acknowledge this breach of protocol and understand the importance of strict adherence to medication handling procedures.Record review of a Termination Recommendation form dated 01/02/26 indicated RN A was terminated for unsatisfactory performance, violation of company policy, and misappropriation.

He said after the incident he immediately audited medications, and everything checked out fine. He said they are also using a form to keep up with medication counts. He said he would have expected the nurse to have immediately put the discontinued medications in the medication room in the discontinued box. He said there was no reason for a medication to be left out anywhere. He said they have completed in-services on medication administration and had scheduled frequent meetings with staff on all high points on how the building needed to be run.

He said RN A had been terminated and would be referred by corporate staff to the state board.During an interview on 01/13/26 at 2:12 p.m., the EDO said RN A called her on 01/01/26 and said that her husband had just been arrested and said, we had stuff in the car and I am afraid it is going to come back on me. She said at that point she was thinking it was drugs but not medications from the facility. She said the police had called the DCO and told him about the medication and which resident it belonged to. She said she did not know anything further until she had the police report. She said RN A ended up having 2 full cards containing a total of 60 pills of Meloxicam.

She said there was no way RN A did not know she took the medication. She said there was no way RN A accidentally scooped up the medications. She said it was a discontinued medication, and it did not affect the resident. She said once Medication Aide B handed RN A the discontinued medication it should have been immediately secured. She said it should never have been left out for just anyone to access. She said immediately they counted every other medication in the facility.

She said now she expected all discontinued medications to come off the cart immediately, so that there is not an accidental use of the medication. She said previously it was not done daily. She said after this incident this will be done daily. She said the police told her that because it was not a controlled substance and the resident had not been using the medication they would not press charges. She said the facility had requested to press charges against RN A. She said there was now a warrant for her arrest because they chose to press charges. She said a staff member taking a resident's medication could cause them to not have the medications they need, could delay care, and affect their condition negatively.During an interview on 01/14/26 at 7:50 a.m., RN A said she and Medication Aide B were busy at work. She said Medication Aide B asked her about Resident #1's Meloxicam and if the resident still needed it or not. She said she was at the computer at the time. She said the medication had been discontinued. She said Medication Aide B handed her the medication. She said she then got called away from the computer. She said she laid the two cards beside the computer and covered them with some papers. She said at the end of the day she picked up her personal items and placed them in her bag. She said she did not know the medication was in her bag until the police searched her car. She said she was not arrested. She said Resident #1 had not missed any medications because the medications had been discontinued. She said she could not remember when the medication had been discontinued. She said as soon as she determined that the medication had been discontinued, she should have immediately locked them in the medication room in the discontinued box.Record review of an Abuse facility policy last revised on 01/27/20, The purpose of this policy is to ensure that each resident has the right to be free from any type of Abuse, Neglect, Intimidation, Involuntary Seclusion/Confinement, and or Misappropriation of property.
