Am I crazy😅

Hey nurse peeps! Nurse of almost 9 years here and I’m currently on assignment in New Mexico. I had a “spat” of sorts with the unit director about the meaning of PRN medication. According to her PRN medication means the patient is to be awoken every time it’s due and administered to that patient even if they are asleep 😅. I told her to that is unethical and illegal because if the patient cannot physically tell me they’re hurting because they are asleep they WILL NOT be getting PRNs. She then responded that since the patient is chronically in pain it doesn’t apply to him🥴. Talk about YIKES. Be safe out there folks! We worked too hard for our licenses for these kind of shenanigans!
