Our facility uses DAP notes. I find it takes some getting used to after writing narrative notes in med surge. Being new to psych, I have a question about charting. Is it appropriate to quote a...
Thanks for the feedback. The person wasn't in last night so it wasn't addressed. Like I said, I admit I made the error and apologized for it, but I believe it is unprofessional always to address an...
Hi, just wanted a couple of opinions about this. I started a new job about 2 months ago. I was the medication nurse last week. One night I brought a client out into the community area to take a med...

Hi there, I am so excited and also anxious that I wanted to share. I love reading these threads everyday. I am a new grad RN, graduated in December, have been working in med/surge for almost 6 months....
