Sorry that it wasn't a good match for you. However, I see a BIG RED FLAG in your post. From my understanding, you cannot adminster medications unless you have a Nursing license. When I was an RTC, only the nurses had keys to the med room, and only nurses could physically hand the medication to the patient.
This of course was in Arkansas, so it could have been a state specific law, but I figure it is a law that everyone follows. Plus, you'd be SOL if that patient had an adverse reaction to the meds and you didn't have enough medical background to treat it.
Probably a good thing you said "Adios!" to them, huh?
Good luck on your search!!
