  20. "Writing up" use or abuse

    PeaceonearthRN replied to zuzi's topic in General Nursing

    PeaceonearthRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's everyone's responsibility to answer call lights even if it is not their patient. Often, I answer call lights since it could be an emergency. I beleive we all have to set an example...
