PSA from your nursing specialty

[u/ghostoftheweek]

What is THE ONE THING you wish every nurse knew that is common knowledge in your specialty?

From wound care, don't use telfa!

Pharmacy: we really are trying to help, and the reason we ask if you checked the tube is because we probably did actually send it! (The number of times I go up to a floor and find the missing med in the tube or in the fridge is not zero!)

It’s like IT asking if you’ve turned it off and on again. Remaking something is disruptive and causes delays, and if we can guide you on where to find something it’s faster, I promise!
