    Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Rose_Queen replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    documenting lot numbers

    Rose_Queen replied to susansew's topic in Operating Room

    You would need to check your facility policy. If it is purely for irrigation, we do not document it. If, however, it is used in conjunction with an implant in any way (rinsing, reconstituting, etc),...

    RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

    Rose_Queen replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

    Human nature is to complain rather than to compliment. That is why you will find the negative posts tend to outweigh the positive posts. Plus, coming here to a semi-anonymous message board and venting...
