After sitting for almost an hour using a sharpie to black out names on pharmacy bottles, I'm wondering if there is a better way to dispose of patients medicine bottles with their names on them.
Where I work, I only deal with their bottles, and the labels with names are tightly bound to the bottles. What else can I do besides spend valuable time coloring?
There is no company policy and this is how the previous nurse did it. Every day, I have tons of them to dispose of and I need a better way! I used to work in a nursing home and I remember just throwing out the packages meds came in, not bothering to black out names. That's how they did it there, but here is no policy.
