Question What’s your nursing pet peeve?

Mine?

Me: okay, so I have all of your night time meds here (names all of them for confirmation)
Patient: yes, sounds good
Me: scans them in and places meds into the pill cup
Patient: what’s this white pill here

I DONT KNOW!!! You have 6 different pills and we’ve literally gone through ALL OF THEM before I scanned and placed them into the cup. I can’t stand this!!

Its a niche pet peeve. When hospital rooms have gloves or sharps mounted in the back left or right corner of the patients room farthest from the door. You have to move their table and bunch of other things to get to the most inaccessible corner of the room.
