I would never allow my license to back up such a situation. I am a med nurse and have taken two phrmacology courses and a medication administration specifics course and I still look up meds that I give in our hospital on a regular basis. i believe I read where med errors are the number one problem of short staffing these days and poor handwriting, misundersood verbal orders, A medication error could kill some one very easily. UAP's shouldn't agree to this and nurses definately should not risk there licenses for this. It is an accident waiting to happen:confused:

:) hi, I've worked in the ER and Dr's offices and on Med Surg and still do. I think it will be a great help for LPN's to be allowed to take verbal orders. The training they recieve makes them capable and it makes it difficult for an RN to have to come down the hall and around the corner just to accept an order over the phone when her team member LPN is right there. We all have to work together to make life better for our team members;) This seems like a good fix. I hope it is:p

hello, I am new to all nurses but I have been working in nursing for almost ten years. This is the shortest we have ever been:( How are others hanling short staffing? We use team nursing which helps, but when there are less than the bare minimum of staff nothing can help:o
