Thank you to those of you who replied. I now know why I hesitate to post questions on this forum. I am an RN (experienced) and I do know how to write a care plan. I guess I did not give a detailed enough explanation of what I was looking for. I a...

Our hospital has Pyxis in the ER which is a non-profile unit. When we get a John Doe patient the nursing staff enters "male, seizure" (according to their dx) without a patient number. This might seem trivial, but the DEA frowns on a narcotic being ...

We recently went to pyxis on our floor. We use it for all medications, except refrigerated meds also. Everyone here really loves it. We only pull for one patient at a time. It has helped track med errors, reduce lost charges and we no longer have...

We need suggestions on how to document drug withdraws on John Doe or those who do not have an account # yet. How are other facilities doing this to meet DEA standards? We are being surveyed soon and we want to make sure that we are in compliance. ...

Our med/surg unit just began self-scheduling. I am looking for others who use this on their units...and how they feel about it. Any input is greatly appreciated!! (thanks to those who already responded)

Our 35 bed med/surg unit is adopting self scheduling and I'm looking for ideas and/or feedback from other nurses who have had or have experience with this. We have approx. 20 RNs on staff and we usually schedule 5 to 6 RNs per shift. How do other uni...
