    TraumaNurseRN replied to errn7's topic in Emergency

    TraumaNurseRN replied to Dixielee's topic in Emergency

    TraumaNurseRN replied to cactusj's topic in Emergency

    I can't begin to imagine what a Mass Exodus an ER would have if they instituted admission assessments as a requirement for ER nurses. From the time I walk into our 65 bed Level II trauma center I am...
