3. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

   CaitlinAnn replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

   Seems like a HUGE med error to me. We're being told to check our Drug Guides every time we go to give a med, because our licenses will be on the line, not the MD's. So make sure you are giving the...

    CaitlinAnn replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing
