It's not that bad....one of the biggest pains is the Joint Commision's list of "dangerous abbreviations". Most of these came out about 2 years ago, but we STILL have docs using them on a daily basis. We cannot enter or fill the orders until the orders have been re-written. It's frustrating that MDs/RNs cannot follow simple guidlelines and blame us for not sending the meds when we have notified them several times.
We also have a doc that refuses to write mg/mcg, etc on his orders.
Atenolol 50 PO QD, nexium 40, etc.
Ummm, still not going to enter it....our manager has supposedly talked to him multiple times. I told the nursing staff to write him up every time they have to re-write his orders.
