Hense my story posted.<BR/><BR/>The other day, I was able to delete a whole bunch of medication orders in one click "3 seconds", you said. (Not intentionally!) There was no question that popped up, "Are you sure you want to delete these medications?" And, we shouldn't even have the opportunity to delete more than one med at a time.<BR/><BR/>That is a problem I don't like. There are many more like that that we are dealing with at work right now!<BR/><BR/>It was my alertness that caught the meds deleted and I'm surprised with all the changes and confusion that I did notice it!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I made a point to memorize every medicine and the medication times that all 19 of my patients get in my 12 hour shift because I don't trust the computer system or the paper back-up. <BR/><BR/>A facility such as ours should not allow any programs that haven't been tested THAT well.<BR/><BR/>So, hats off to all the polite, helpful, long-suffering IT folks and the Software Engineers who work patiently through the maze of computer language and code to get us on the right track.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm waiting for an IT person to unlock this blog so I can post again. (Blogger robots thought I was spam.) <BR/><BR/>~LindaLinda J.

Sorry you and Jim didn't get along so well last night. (At least I can relate to THAT!)
