I haven't started any nursing position yet, but yes, I have heard all these horror stories and more like I originally posted. It is a scary thought of how easy these drugs can be obtained through medical personal. I have a friend right now that just lost her baby b/c she was a Home Health RN and was stealing her hospice patientís pain meds for herself and then got addicted and her baby died. No one had a clue she was even addicted. I'm getting ready to start a PT home health position myself and the thought someone could steal from another person knowing they are lying in bed in pain is just sickening to me. I have had many a night in my own bed in pain not even with something like cancer and thatís why I went the OP route and I couldnít imagine doing that to another person dying or not. And now she has killed her own child and sacrificed her whole career. Too sad.
