thanks to the people that replied...you've all been very helpful..the doctors in our ER like to give morphine to patients in severe pain (usu renal colic pts), and they usually order 10mg IV, that's it. since I'm new in the unit, the "older" nurses just say just give 4mg slowly then after a while 2-2-2mg. i was also wondering if a doctor ordered 30mg of morphine for a patient, would this be an overdose or still acceptable, because some say this is an overdose. i've been looking through literature about morphine and haven't encountered a certain dose considered to be an overdose. what causes the headache in these patients given morphine?

can anyone please help me with this? how do you give IV morphine in the ER if its not an infusion? at what rate? what dose is considered as an overdose? what are the things that you have to be alert for? what about pediatric patients? thanks!

then why is there a certain healthcare agency continuously recruiting nurses in the phils on h1 b visas? i've read about these visas but somehow they've found a way through it if they can continuously keep sending filipino nurses there
