Nurses who pull meds for all their patients at once.
Stop that. I’m waiting behind you for over 10 minutes trying to get meds for my one patient. Also you are going to make a med error with 6 different patients meds sitting in cups on your WOW. Stop this insanity.
Edit; ‘I’ll never make an error blah blah’ putting baggies in bin is asking for an error if you place a baggie in a wrong bin. ‘You don’t scan?’ Sure we do, one patient has almost identical pills to another except dosage, blister pack is 2 meds vs 1, the computer doesn’t recognize the second scan and you don’t catch it because you assume they’re all the right meds, patient now got double their dose of BP meds. All it takes is a pt refusing a med or it meeting a parameter to hold, you place that med down on your workstation - or in what you thought was the right pocket? get distracted by what ever the fuck, walk to the next room with your cup o’ meds and it gets lost in the mix, you pop it out with the rest. Patient just got a random med and you literally have no idea because it was to the side before but maybe got mixed up with everything else while you were scanning, explaining, trying to not get the patient to fall, and listening to the bed alarm go off in the next room over. Arrogance is a scary trait. If you don’t think you’re capable of a med error you’ve already done one without realizing.
