7. Tagging HIV status in chart?

   imn2nursing replied to calicamper's topic in MICU

   I think knowing makes a person more nervous. One of our PCP's recieved a stick after drawing blood from an AIDS patient. Nothing like this had ever happened to her. I think she was nervous. I agree with the others. Treat everyone as though they ...

    I am an LPN and I work my tail off. I could never survive without my aides and PCP's. The PCP's are CNA's with phlebotomy and EKG skills. They are my right hands. I tell them everyday how much I appreciate them. I definitely think that CNA's are...
