License Losers – Asleep at the Wheel!

• "On [Date], and while employed as a registered nurse at [Facility] Respondent was observed sleeping while on duty. Her work record indicates Respondent had previously been cautioned about inattentiveness to her assigned tasks, as well as for removing housekeeping supplies from the workplace for her personal use." (I'm sure these are related somehow.)

• "…received a written reprimand for being apparently asleep on duty on [four different dates] …" (Apparently asleep?)

• "On [Date], the Director of Nursing (DON) arrived at the facility at approximately 3:40 a.m. The DON indicated that she entered the front door and the alarm sounded, but none of the night staff responded to the alarm. The DON found [the Respondent] and the certified nursing assistants asleep in the facility. The DON walked through the units and found a patient trying to get out of bed, another patient calling for help to get to the toilet, and several other patients either requesting help or awake in their rooms and televisions turned on. One patient was found asleep sitting in an upright position on a mat on the floor. [The Respondent] admitted that she may have "dozed" off during part of her shift. She indicated that she had a difficult day, lack of sleep the previous night and had taken pain medication." (What excuse did the CNAs have?)
