Labeling IV bags

Why? Someone explain why I have to label a bag of normal saline with a sticker that says it's normal saline when the bag already had normal saline printed on the side?

It drives me nuts.

I didn't add anything to the bag of normal saline. What nurse does that anymore?

The last time I added a drug to a an IV bag was when we used to heparinize flush bags for art lines. I understand labeling that IV bag.

I don't get labeling a bag of NS with another label, covering the original label with my label.

Welcome to the department of redundancy department.
