Can the pump be placed higher on the IV pole?

Hi everyone,
We just purchased these new pumps a few months ago. The main complaint from the 
nurses is the fact that they can not see the screen unless they bend, stoop or 
kneel. When trying to program using the drug library, this can take a long 
time. If the screen were tilted, the problem would go away. At this point in 
time, I don't think Hospira is planning on doing anything about this. I think 
that something needs to be done otherwise nurses aren't going to want to take 
the time to program the pumps the way they should because of all the stooping, 
etc. that it takes. I don't know that the company has plans to make any changes 
at this time.
Is anyone else having the same problem? If so, have you done anything about it?
Thanks in advance.
