    LPN1974 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with hypnotic nurse.....I was told that the word "error' is unecessary, because the line thru it indicates the error. Sometimes space in charting is tight, so adding the word just crowds...

  6. Implanted Chip Approved for Human Use

    LPN1974 replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    LPN1974 replied to jaimemds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  17. Tube Feeding Question

    LPN1974 replied to kasi's topic in Geriatric, LTC
