    I thought I would ask the question here first, however yes I did email them as well. And again my question is not about what to sign...but if one could work with an RN supervising them or if the supervision needs to be through an Active LPN. Now tha...

  11. Confused....

    If someone's HGB is low (preop 95) shouldn't their RBC's be low as well (in this case it's normal)? having a low Hemoglobin value would indicate insufficient oxygen, which would increase respirations and pulse, but then shouldn't their BP be high in...
