Am I in the wrong Nursing home?
right practice is to call the physician any time you can not administer the ordered meds. you should not run out if its routine meds.refill 3 days before,should be available in each station e kit. which your pharmacy can provide.Your don can actually take care of those simple issues.Do not borrow medications substandard practice and its your license not anybody else protect it......
