  1. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    KrissyPRN replied to psychnurse1998's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  3. Dealing with The Yellers

    KrissyPRN replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming the patients you are referring to are probably confused or a danger to themselves if they are being placed close to the nurses station and probably are unable to use the call bell do to...

  11. DNR tattoos...

    KrissyPRN replied to rhonda L's topic in General Nursing
