   ReWritten replied to iharticu's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ReWritten replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    In a smaller ER. We report at the nurses' station. I think bedside reporting would work in ours, but I don't see any of my coworkers agreeing to it. Plus, the fear of HIPAA violation. We had AIDET...
