Registered Nurse was accused of diverting Fentanyl, accused of using too much Fentanyl with patients and made a written admission.
In this matter, we did our own investigation and were able to establish that there was no evidence of diversion and that our client had properly used Fentanyl for physician’s orders. Furthermore, we were able to establish that our client’s admission was coerced and was obtained by improper facility protocol. As a result, our client obtained a Non- Disciplinary order that required six (6) additional hours of continuing education in the area of medication administration and charting, proper waste procedures and pyxis use.
