    Can you switch from L&D to Emergency?

    Rose_Queen replied to acer33's topic in General Specialties

    Disfigured hands - suitable sterile gloves

    Rose_Queen replied to LisaArnold's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    What exactly does "taking blood" mean? In the US, lab draws are not done with sterile gloves. I do work with a nurse in the OR who is missing fingers. She uses steristrips to secure the unneeded...

    Rose_Queen replied to 01.rn.10's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Specialties: 1 Jobs: well. Do promotions count? Staff RN, charge RN, RN educator. If you want hospital and guaranteed day shift, I would advise taking a look at procedural areas. There may...

    Teaching students to write in APA format

    Rose_Queen replied to Sam_Rabbit's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
