    Patchouli replied to LadyTiger44's topic in General Nursing

  10. Online NP programs.

  13. Online NP programs.

    Patchouli replied to Patchouli's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  18. How does BON handle + marijuana screens from nurses in states that have legalized it?

    Patchouli replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

  19. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    Patchouli replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    i agree that it's not as simple as "just spiking the bag and pushing the button". how many times may the button need to be re-pushed due to occlusions, or new iv sites. how about multiple spikings of...

    Patchouli replied to BSNgrad2010's topic in General Nursing

    Patchouli replied to Gl!tch's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i don't think i'd bring it up. that's typically how it's done. you start orientation on days, then finish it up on nights. at least that's how they did it at my current place of
