Marijuana: legal in patient belongings?
Our state just legalized recreational marijuana this week. So my question for AN is, what is your opinion on what we should do with it when (non-cancer) patients have/use edibles on a healthcare unit? Its legal, so should we treat it like cigarettes & send it to security lock-up until they're released? Do we discard it because it is still a federal crime? Do we send it to pharmacy to register it as a home medication? If so, how do you feel about dispensing it to patients along with their other medications? BTW, our hospital has not addressed this fully in policy as of yet. Thank you for your input!

RN shortage
"To me, the problem is unrealistic expectations for floor nurses, short staffing, customer service mentality, high nurse to patient ratios where increasing patient acuity is not taken into consideration"
