    In your opinion that is. Sooooo unfortunate that today's women are and have been taught to think for themselves. If the last man on earth had the same expectations of that article, i'd demand a...

    Professional Courtesy

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to nursetim's topic in General Nursing

    And professional courtesy would also mean (to me) letting the PACU nurses do what they need to do, and let them make the call of when it's best (if it's best) for someone (RN or not) to come back
