A few years ago we had a discussion about how NICU's were labelling and 
checking breastmilk before administration to babies.  At that time about 
half of the NICU's were doing a 2 nurse check system.  With the 2005 HMBANA 
guidelines recommending the 2 individual check method, I would like to ask 
again how many hospitals have adopted this policy.  Where do you document 
the 2 people verification if you do?  I know our staff would be resistant 
to this change intially, does it seem to get easier after you implement the 
change?  Do you use 2 RN's only, or are tech's and parents also allowed to 
check the numbers?  If others are interested in this information also I 
will be happy to compile the results and post. Feel free to reply to the 
list or to me personally at [log in to unmask] 
Thanks, Jan
