What are the top 5 medications YOU administer daily?

Published

I want to read about medications that are nornally given by nurses, what do you normally deal with on your floor? I'm hoping to see a common drug list, but who knows...

Thanks.

Neurontin, Lithium, Effexor, Clonidine, and probably Motrin or Colace.

i work in corrections, and I am a evening / night nurse. no narcotics are given and the issues we address are a bit different than maybe a typical hospital floor.
