    SnowyJ replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I have no issue at all with giving Ritalin or any similar med. However, as licensed nurses, we MUST follow appropriate practice standards and question if we feel dosing deviates from the standard of...

    Ridiculous things. This is a new one one me.

    SnowyJ replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I would definitely be concerned at the idea of giving 3 doses of Ritalin in such a short period of time. I would worry about side effects being worse..Including possible loss of appetite. I...
