    Job Market for Experienced Nurses in Denver

    klone replied to Wrench Party's topic in Colorado Nursing

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    School district apologizes for nurse delays treatment

    klone replied to dudette10's topic in Nursing News

    I think that the nurse screwed up. As someone with a lifelong anaphylactic allergy to tree nuts, I side wholly with the student. It doesn't matter if she has NO presenting s/sx. If she believes she...

    Blood return on IM injection

    Agree with the previous poster. Dorsogluteal is not the preferred site for that very reason - it's far more likely to hit a vessel or nerve. When using that site, you should ALWAYS aspirate, and...
