Feb 28 by Flarei looked that up, that's a pretty good idea if you have cabinets! We got marked off in a review for not having the ritalin in a double locking cabinet, so that's what Im using now. It's pretty spacious, so i line up all the meds and move from one shelf to another as i give them (but i have about 10 meds, so it's not too bad) - Feb 28 by hsnurse1I have a tool box- like a crash cart in the hospital. Our agri department made an insert for my drawer that has holes for my medication bottles in it. It works really well for me. I put them in by times or you can do by grade-whichever works best for you. I just turn the bottles upside down after I give them so I know it's been done. I put a label on the tops of the bottles for easy access, too.
- Feb 28 by AdobeRNI keep my daily meds in a locked cabinet -as I administer I too turn my bottles upside down. I also have a tall locking cabinet with 5 deep shelves - one shelf I have labeled baskets (A-E, F-J etc etc) with all the PRN stuff, next shelf is my EpiPen, inhalers, neb treatment stuff.
