    Shed13911 replied to RS0302's topic in General Nursing

    Shed13911 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

  8. Poll: What type of report?

    Shed13911 replied to NS_RN's topic in General Nursing

    The last bedside nursing job I did, we did oral report. We had a lot of BS that took forever to get out on time. I think written report is good on most occasions so that they can ask questions after...

    Shed13911 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Shed13911 replied to mbelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Shed13911 replied to sex"C"'s topic in General Nursing

    Shed13911 replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

  19. Pinning dress, any suggestions?

    Shed13911 replied to perksrn's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my pinning ceremony, I had to look at maybe 10 different uniform shops before I found the dress I wore for the ceremony. Many as you said look cheap and were way too thin. I don't think I...

  23. call reviews

    Shed13911 replied to kettle's topic in Telephone Triage

    Our bosses can either listen to our calls, as all are recorded, or they can print out the chart record for the call and review it that way. It gives us good feedback as to what we can do to shorten...
