If the public was aware of the amount of errors made by nurses, they would not be number one.
number one in med errors, maybe....

sorry i'd have to disagree abt dat, B4 a bed side nurse makes a med error, it must have come from the doctors and it is the fnction of the pharmacist to check it out before bringing it to the floor. U cant blame the nurse whose soul purpose is not the medication. They help by confirming if it is right or wrong, and u cant blame them. Most doctors dont know their patients, try to give med orders over the phone without the right pronounciation(different doctors from different backgrounds), and if there's med error who can blame the nurse who has 6 patients to take care of.
And trust me their ethics is way better. Pounded into their brains during school.

Well seeing as in a hospital they pretty much give all the meds (short of weird IV pushes), that would make them #1 in med errors by default...
