I’m an RN I have basically 0 control over what gets prescribed. last time I called like 3 times begging for opiates for a legit medical problem I got a 1 time dose not even a scheduled or prn. there’s next to literally nothing I can do, no. But even nurses who have worked other specialties have told me they basically go off the poss score as in, if you’re asking and alert and still able to breathe fast enough and it’s within time parameters you get more and if you can’t or they can’t give more you don’t get more. Rating it in number alone is basically just useless.
