I was calling a hospital to clarify a dose on prednisone they wanted what was equivalent to 2 predpaks at the same time. Here is the convo we had.

Me: hey im calling to clarify a sig on a script we just got at x pharmacy.

Nurse: ok let me get you the pharmacist on duty.

NP: hey this is pharmacy, how can I help you?

Me: hey im just calling to clarify you wanted x normally the dose is y for this indication.

NP: yes that is how I want it filled.

Me: hmm ok, the dose is higher than the max dose for that patient could I speak with the provider that ordered it?

NP: I ordered it.

Me: I thought you were a pharmacist?

NP: yea I’m a APRN with a specialty in pharmacy.

Me: ok thank you have a good day.

hangs up

Anyone have one of these at their hospital?? What’s their scope? Any insight would be helpful
