A new grad nurse made a medication error and a diet reporting error due to being overwhelmed with high patient load, and now faces a Board of Nursing investigation with no support, retraining, or clear communication.

Existing medication dispensing systems like Pyxis don't track manual tasks or alert when a medication is not administered after removal, and the hospital lacks a non-punitive incident reporting and training system.
