   As far as what color nurse techs and CNAs wear it would depend on where they work. At Erlanger they just wear the scrubs of their choice on most floors. There may be some departments which require...

3. Nursing, the field of medicine or customer service?

   Mahage replied to jalvino1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I am in favor of allowing family members to stay when in the nurses opinion it is in the best interest of the patient. We have one charge who will only allow it if we have a high profile patient or...

   Mahage replied to Medic/Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I don't think bullying is ever acceptable, but sometimes the line between being inconsiderate, just plain thoughtless and rude and actual harrassment and bullying is very fuzy. It is hard to tell...

8. Too Old to go back for LPN - BSN bridge??

   Mahage replied to lilaclover6984's topic in LPN to RN
