Joyce, the charge nurse for 1st floor came to the 2nd floor around 3 am and ask for the 2nd floor med room key. I asked her what do you need here, just give me the key. I respectfully open the med room for her meanwhile I was standing at the door to close the door when she finished. Joyce picked up a pack of Loperamide tab OTC and searching other cabinets and left the cabinets open and messed up the med room. I asked her, can you tell me what do you need she yelled at me to go away, I am going to call Sandy, I am going to call 911. I call the police if you accused me.
