:sniff:I work in a community hospital where it seems like every patient has an order for iv dilaudid for pain. I am an iv therapy nurse and it seems like I get alot of calls needing me right away to start an iv because the patient needs their iv dilaudid right away. It just seems like this is the drug of choice now for any type of pain. It just seems to be given out like candy. Is is like this in other institutions?
