  12. Nurses don't know the lab

    blondy2061h replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

  13. Bad idea to take MA position even though i am a RN??

    blondy2061h replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    blondy2061h replied to ashleylea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you should take a 0. Turning in something is always better than nothing and everyone is going to struggle so there will probably be a wicked curve. As far as fluid, I'll give you that...

    blondy2061h replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in Patient Medications

    You're not using it as an identifier, you're using the patients arm band and stated name when you check the meds against the MAR at the bedside. I really think you're making a mountain out of a...
