  12. Tie a knot on pt's bed keeps them alive for your shift??

    Illinurse2010 replied to LrElizabeth7's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be rude but this sounds like hocus pocus..If it were possible to keep someone alive by tying a bed sheet we would not need doctors, nurses, or hospitals. Do you carry a lucky pencil, throw salt...
