That's not really true as hospitals don't stock trade variations of each med unless medically important (thyroid meds can change based on manufacturer for example).
Most med errors are inappropriate timing as nearly every other part of med dispensing has been automated except for the window when the patient gets it.

I think that would fall into the category of "more serious med errors" though.
EDIT - Also, hospitals aren't the only place where nurses work. Retirement homes, assisted living centers, clinics (doctors office), etc.
