   It took the safety report for them to listen! They couldn't ignore that because this hospital has implemented new "Safety is our priority" protocols! Every other time I complained I got the answer, "Thats just how she is, we have all dealt with her."...

    To the family that makes a complaint about not getting enough attention on the previous night shift: could you also make a report when you do get enough attention? Thanks, cause I have worked extremely hard today to make darn sure your stay is much ...

14. Most Common IV Push Meds on Med-Surg

    missnurse1 replied to nurseJ88's topic in New Nurse

    For me it's definetly Lasix, Toradol, and Protonix. Morphine is also very common but I think Lasix and toradol take the cake. I agree with the other post that compatability charts should be in your med room. :)
