Can someone give me an easy acronym to remember the six rights of medication administration? I do well with acronyms.

This thread is so interesting!! I start NS in the fall so I'm unsure of how my school will handle the rights, but through my employer I was trained using the 5 rights:
Right Person
Right Medication
Right Dosage
Right Route
Right Time
There is always a huge emphasis on documentation and refusal but I always just think of them as necessary post-pass documentation. I'll have to keep them in mind as "rights" going forward!
