Hi Randy, Yes, we are dealing with this issue as well. We've been LIVE with BMV since October, and just this past week have had our first nursing students come thru for their clinical rotation.
As you've found, just removing the Acknowledge Orders from the verb strip is not sufficient, since the system will still allow a user to acknowledge an order if they "SCAN MED" and scan an un-acknowledged order. And, like you, I do not want to limit them to seeing only acknowledged ones. Since all meds given by a student have to be co-signed by a second person (their instructor), and since they are operating under her license, and she is an RN, I have felt comfortable letting them use the system as is. I definitely appreciate the option for 'CO-SIGN ALL MEDS' for an access group option. And a review of their med administrations for this first week shows no meds were acknowledged by them! Wish I could be of more help!
