I worked as a pharmacy tech in the Trauma unit before I became an RN and I asked the pharmacist the difference in short morphine is a short acting narcotic and dialudid is a long acting narcotic. The ratio of dilaudid to morphine is 7.5mg:1 mg ...keep in mind it all depends on the patient. Personally I had kidneys stones and morphine did little for my pain which felt as if I were giving birth thru a straw!! Dilaudid was a savior. Demerol is antequated and is being phased out; too many side effects.

Going on barely 5 months and don't think I may hit my 1 yr mark...I don't want to give up though.

Hi, I have worked at Froedtert for 12 + years and moving to nursing. RN schedules for the most part are great: 7/70. Seven days on for 10 hrs a day or night and 7 days off (considered fulltime equivalent to 80hrs). Great tuition reimbursement with no commitment to stay. Wage approximately 23/hr, other threads exists about Froedtert; just type in the search engine.
