    Made a mistake!!

    TazziRN replied to NurseGarza's topic in General Nursing

    You're kidding, right? There isn't a single nurse who hasn't made at least one major error in his/her career by the time it's over. As long as you learn from it, then there is a positive to come out...

    Tattoo Policy

    TazziRN replied to ICor9:24's topic in General Nursing

    Tattoo Policy

    TazziRN replied to ICor9:24's topic in General Nursing

    My first hospital wants all tattoos covered. The second wanted exposed tattoos to be tasteful. My current place is the same. One of our nurses has a Chinese character at the base of her neck and she...

    TazziRN replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    CNA duties vs. Nursing Duties

    TazziRN replied to joolia's topic in General Nursing
