  1. Pushing Dilaudid?

    NurseyTee replied to chacmool's topic in Patient Medications

    I think the advice given here was quite sound. Read the MD orders and follow them to the letter and you'll have no problems. As far as pushing narcs, it's simple, push it slow, dilute it with a...

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in General Nursing

    NurseyTee replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing
