How tired is unsafe for work?

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

A Bad day in the OR...how would you have handled it?

Marie_LPN, RN replied to Nursingal's topic in Operating Room

Family: The Monitor Monsters

Marie_LPN, RN replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in MICU, SICU
