    CaLLaCoDe replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you like and are comfortable with the increased stress of patient's who appear perfectly normal and then die the next second go to tele. Don't get me wrong, patients die on medsurge floors too, but...

    It's always good to be on the side of caution. This is a tough lesson to learn, however I'm sure you'd not want to be the night nurse in a fix for low blood pressure concerns. Glad to know your...

    what do you think of this policy?

    CaLLaCoDe replied to kadedid40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CaLLaCoDe replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing
