2. Have you ever gone in to find a patient dead? What happened?

   HMtravelRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   i think there were a multitude of failures. the facility should have had a policy in place wherein lvns are not assigned fresh post-op patients. lvns do not generally get the extra (rn) year of intensive assessment drilling in school that rns do, n...
