   edmia I totally agree with you that it is not a perfect world, nor is medicine a perfect profession. The system fails, more often than not, due to human error, deviation from protocol, as your scenario proves. It's a trickle down effect, always endi...

   Hppty, Agree totally! If there is an 'incident'..the nurse always becomes the target and ends up in front of the Board defending her actions...and btw...there are no 'friendly' doctors. They will never back you up!! But you can't convince those who c...

   VanNurse, Good grief ...give it a rest..you serve no purpose by attacking me. Your opinion does not supersede my knowledge because you engage in character assassination. Different types of facilities, States etc have differing medication protocols......

   klone, Thank you for your common sense post! Excellent advice to those nurses who are commenting, and trying to justify, that their 'personal' judgment supersedes the scope of their license, as well as the medication protocol in place wherever they ...

   VanNurse It's common practice to attack the messenger when you can't refute the message :-) Ask yourself, "Why does the truth offend me and make me angry"? The answer may give you some insight...or maybe not!

   calivianya, If the patient goes sour...you can count on that MD throwing you under the bus, if you decide to 'play doctor'...sometimes even if you didn't.., in order to cover their own backsides! They don't all have integrity...far from it...they cr...

   I have NEVER had the time or inclination to put my feet up while on duty. My patients deserve better..and so do yours. There are a dozen things you can do for your patient's comfort while you are waiting for legal protocol to work, and........IF you ...

    Newsboy, Sorry, you lose. I am not a brand new nurse. Your supposition skills are as faulty, as your illegal medication protocol. No medication is SAFE all the time...surely you know that! The purpose of medication protocol is in place to protect th...

    macawake, Standing orders are not the topic under discussion. As we all know, a Standing order means you already have an order and/suggests/allows/permits you to legally give a medication. We are discussing those who choose to "play doctor", prescrib...

    VANurse, You are rationalizing illegal activity! Can't you see that? The "override" covers many things...not one of which gives you permission to not follow protocol! It's purpose is not to excuse improper protocol and behavior. The law states you do...
