2. WWYD?

   MirandAck!!! replied to KateRN1's topic in Home Health

   I think you did right! It was not reported to you from the regular nurse that you needed to call the doc! Don't stress!

6. Wearing Gloves When Taking Vital Signs?

   MirandAck!!! replied to student1000's topic in Emergency

   It definitely should be up to the nurse, tech, etc. I know my patients inside and out, so do not wear gloves for any normal care that is not invasive or risk of body fluids!

    MirandAck!!! replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting! I think there is always a risk of infection from these injections and that is hypothetically the reason for alchohol wipes!

11. Did you always want to be a nurse?

    MirandAck!!! replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing
