-----Original Message----- From: Carol O'Brien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 1:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: surveyors--labeling OTC meds Our DON asked me to get your input and also the regulation if anyone knows. Our pharmacy consultant told us that it is no longer necessary to label stock pills for date opened if the expiration date is circled. Last years survey team agreed. THis year's team wants them labeled with the date the bottles were opened. _________________________________________________________________ Create a Job Alert on MSN Careers and enter for a chance to win $1000! http://msn.careerbuilder.com/promo/kaday.htm?siteid=CBMSN_1K&sc_extcmp=J S_JASweep_MSNHotm2 /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
