So most hospitals have a time, usually depending on when they change shifts, that most meds are scheduled around. And the whole process is much more complicated than I think most people realize. The omnicell can make sure you pull the right drug/form/strength and it can tell you how many to take out but it can't take the patient's blood pressure before you give them the metoprolol or fingerstick before you give their insulin and it can't check for dangerous side effects before or after the dose or make sure the blood level is taken and sent down to the lab at the right time relative to the administration of the med they're measuring (the omnicell can't even verify that took the right amount of pills out of the pocket). And you're doing that for six patients at a time. So (usually) my job doesn't require fast reflexes, but it does require pretty intense focus.

Ok, so what do you mean by "pass meds"?

I love how you managed to paint an even more confusing image.

For instance, based on what you've written with NO additional context, "the omnicell" must clearly be a terrifying large robotic overlord the size of a room that demands the world of you.
