   Morning Glory replied to Morning Glory's topic in General Nursing

   Yes. Absolutely. The issue isn’t the tele monitor just the tele admission status itself. I’m under the impression that having a patient with a progressive care/tele status places them outside of my scope. I’m probably overthinking this. A better way ...

   Morning Glory posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a med-surg nurse working per diem in addition to my full time job. When I took the job, I clarified with them that I would only be used on med/surg floors and specifically clarified that I would not be floated to tele. They agreed to this ...
