If you witnessed another nurse stealing narcotics, what would you do?

"I would report this serious violation immediately. In many instances, if I see a concerning behavior or situation, I will address it with the colleague, for example, forgetting to wash their hands. However, diverting narcotics is a serious issue and can cause great harm to the patient and the company, so I would notify my supervisor immediately."

"Unfortunately, last year, I encountered this exact situation. I witnessed another nurse taking narcotics from the med cart, putting them in his locker, 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 no-tolerance situation as it 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 happen while working at Mayo Clinic."
