In our ER, we are NOT TO Rx any of the pain contract meds for chronic pain. The nurses are constantly getting yelled at by the directors because we triage these vets as an ESI 5 in Urgent care or Fast Track. What are we to do?? Some docs give them a 28 day refill, some give 10 tabs, some stick to the policy and this is where the nurses get the chronic pain. The patients are well educated, but they take a chane and get what they want and the nurses get grief. nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10370782551002661938noreply@blogger.com
