I have been a nurse for 15 years and have yet to make a medication error. Why? Am I some sort of "super nurse"? Of course not, I just pay attention to what I'm doing... following the 5 "Rights"... Right patient, Right drug, Right dose, Right route (oral, IV, IM, etc..), Right documentation. Even when I'm in a major hurry and have many things pressuring me, I know my license is on the line, so I do what I'm supposed to. I am a technology nerd and love gadgets, but many of the new technology devices that are supposed to make things "safer", end up making things worse. Many of these technologies were rushed to market and not quite ready for prime time. I have seen that after a few idiots out there make a mistake, my life gets much harder. I have little problem having a colleague double check a medication, but making it mandatory for some medications, but not mandatory for others that are a lot more dangerous, but just don't have any high-profile mistakes with them is silly. Having a celebrity rallying support ends up just making things worse.
