I have not heard of an RN-MSN program. I thought you had to go from BSN then to MSN. There are certain requirements that you have to have before getting the MSN that you will get when you get your BSN. I just got my BSN at a program that was RN-BSN. Now I am looking at the MSN program. Good luck.
I have been working for a hospice for 4 months but maybe I can help. We use Dilaudid also but what kind of pain is she having? Are you using any other meds to go with the Dilaudid? Ibuprofen for bone pain or Elavil or Neurorest gel for the nerve Pain? Why did the sq route not work? Can you increase the hourly dose and the prn dose? Not sure about the policy. Nurse Kathy
