yea but at home i take 6 a day

heres the problem when you come into the hospital and have been taking meds ordered by doctor not as prescribed. you cant have them that way when you are admitted into the hospital. i understand and have confirmation that most people especially on pain meds dont take them as ordered. i understand it and its your choice. but when you  come into the hospital and the doctor orders "every four hours" thats how i have to give them to you. i cannot go along with your schedule at home. many people are coming in now doing their own schedule. cant in the hospital.so there in is the conflict. either get the doctor to change the script or just go along with whats ordered. nurses have to follow the doctors orders. if not, we may get suspended or at worse case situation lose our license. yes we have a license. no license no work. i will give you whatever the doctor says even if i think it may possibly be alittle much. why?cause i know at home youve been taking it as you want. then i just watch you more closely. i had a woman patient the other night. swear if i took just one of what i gave her i would be asleep for a week. one more of something else wasnt enough. so just gave her whatever she asked for as long as it was ordered. made her happy,had less conflict for my shift and tried to make her comfortable. plus she was nice. if you arent nice i wont go the extra mile for you. people please realize that not only taking all of the narcotics and benzos are the making of a lethal cocktail but having cocktails with them is courting with disaster. shuts off your respiratory system and you die. just like numerous people have done and will do. these are dangerous drugs and are not to be taking lightly. be safe.
