"Unfortunately, I faced this scenario two years ago. I witnessed another nurse taking narcotics from the med cart, putting them in her purse, and documenting that the medication had been given to a patient. I immediately reported this to my Director of Nursing at the time, as it was a reportable incident. This is a dire situation and also impacts patients because they are not getting the medications they are ordered to receive. I would never hesitate to report it again if I witnessed it."
