The RN Guardian Podcast

Giving meds is literally the job… so why does it sometimes trigger an investigation? In this episode, Jennifer and Haley break down a surprisingly common issue where nurses get flagged for administering “more medication than their peers.” They unpack how this happens, what it actually means, and why it’s usually tied to workflow changes like charge duties or overtime. Plus, how to handle the conversation if you ever find yourself in the hot seat and why sticking to simple, factual answers can make all the difference.
