Just once!

“You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for”
-Ted Turner


If I had a goal for what it would take to make my career as a nurse complete it would be to just for once when someone shows up at emergency claiming their meds where lost or stolen that it would be for a medication other than narcotics!

Is that too much to ask for?

“Excuse me, can you help me? Someone stole either my suitcase or purse and it had my lasix and metoprolol in it and I need some replacements to tide me over”

In the end though I suspect that the chances of that happening would be the same as one of patients who does show up because they’re medications have been “lost” or “stolen” admitting what their real problem is.
