No Height/Weight + Allergies = No Meds
Just wondering how other hospitals deal with this annoying issue. Almost every day a nurse runs over from the ER looking for a drug that is not in the Pyxis and they often come without a filled out height/weight/allergy sheet, sometimes without an order even. I usually send them back to the ER to gather the information and then dispense the drugs. The most lenient I've been was on a Levophed drip where I picked the dose, wrote the order for the doctor while it was being administered and had the doctor sign off on the order after.

I also will have taken all of the O-chem and Physics and Gen Chem.. Im just worried that not having to take "general bio" would get in the way even though I am a biology major.... thoughts??

These non-emergent illnesses can be taken care of in 15 mins or less. Are prices like $90-100 per patient seem reasonable?
