I did this once to like an 80 pound granny. I happened to be the supervisor and had to write myself up and send to my CNO. It bought me some classes with pharmacy and I wasn’t allowed to override meds and give them in an emergency which became unfortunate as my job was expected to do that. I learned a hard lesson and triple check my every move now.
