    The problem is that you are working with a bunch of children as co-workers. Holding. How silly that it causes that much trouble on your unit. So the kid was a wiggler, a tough stick. Happens! But it...

    Dilaudid anyone?

    Wow, OP. I'd be sure there was an investigation. Write the situation up, who what where... I feel that the way pharm had so deftly turned "the blame" onto you is highly suspicious. You may have...

    HELP!

    Checking visitor's vitals
