  6. Have you ever worked in Bakersfield CA

    dijaqrn replied to bignursenancy's topic in Travel

  13. Is this a med error???

    dijaqrn replied to proudLPN83's topic in General Nursing

    For most routine, scheduled meds 30 mins before or after is usually fine. In the case of a q 2 hr prn it's probably not ok. That's 12 doses in 24 hrs when given q 2 hrs. If you gave all doses at 1.5...

    dijaqrn replied to willbenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
