Greetings all - Regarding the 2025 tape, Megan is correct - The tape was recently recalled related to a few printing issues, however, I've been told that the replacements are actively being printed & should hopefully be available soon
cheers
Scott
p.s. as one of the nurse consultants for the 2025 tape, I'm admittedly biased, but the revisions really are great - so many things that people have asked for over the years have been removed, added, & updated - I really think you will like it

Just a quick heads-up, the Broselow Tape has been updated again (the last version was from 2019). Last time DNV visited our facility this was one of the things they specifically checked. So, I figured I would give everyone a heads up!
