A nurse who stole 1l boxes of a restricted drug from her employer and a hospital nurse who stole a doctor’s script pad and forged prescriptions to get drugs have been disqualified. Dorothy Macdonald, 63, a nurse for 40 years, took 11 boxes of antipsychotic drug Seroquel, containing 110 tablets, from her workplace, Q-Medical Centre at Woodridge. She was a passenger in a car when the driver was pulled over for a random breath test in 2013 and a search of the vehicle revealed the drugs. Ms Macdonald first told police it was her medication, for her daughter, but later changed her story. The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal found her guilty of professional misconduct and suspended her registration for six months.
