Well we started the bar code scanning this week and anxiety was
running high all over the hospital.I don't think it helps when people are nasty with each other.
Pharmacy was going wacko.Right now we are all in a pit.
The system itself is not hard to use.A few cliches here and there but nothing difficult.The time factor involved because we are still using the omnicell to get the meds out first is a problem.And the cosigning of insulin on the computer is also time consuming.We have quite a few diabetics and give alot of insulin.
Well I must continue on.

Does this mean no more checking off MARs for the next day on the night shift? WoooooooHooooooooo!!!
One advantage to this I can see is if a nurse on a previous shift gave a med, but forgot to sign off on it, we'll be able to find out if it was given without having to track her down after she's left the hospital to find out, right?
