So anyway -- verifying 'dem labels, right? I'll be the first to admit that I walked in there and checked the usual suspects and eventually noticed that the expiration date was wrong. The label read expires in 48 hours when the product expires in 24 hours at room temperature. You could cut the smug in the room with a knife after I found this, I'm not gonna lie. In fact, I spent the next 10 minutes thinking about how silly I just made this exercise look. Then I noticed the label clearly says "REFRIGERATE." Oh, no problem -- I'll just flip back through the package ins...
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
Five minute warning! Oh...so then I looked up the refrigerated expiration date...

And well...I don't *think* I failed the IV compounding part. I didn't do any of the things that I've been accused of in past labs -- y'know...like grabbing the needle. Something about sharp sterile objects, just can't keep my grubby hands away from'em. I honestly almost enjoyed doing the compound today because I had a hood to myself and didn't have someone "correcting" my every move. I think its silly that Dr. M plays it off like the lab instructors don't present conflicting information, but then admit that they had to "get on the same page." Then they tell us not to share techniques with one another?
Hell, half of the things I've been stopped while doing in IV Lab I wasn't even doing wrong -- they were just "showing me a different way to do things," which is a bad thing to do by their own admission.
