    Don't wear gloves when doing vitals on post-partum mom

    truern replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I don't wear gloves unless I'm going to be touching bodily secretions of some sort. I can always grab a pair right beside the patient's bed if needed. I find it amusing that those that go with...

    truern replied to miss_pitty_pat's topic in General Students

    Your instructor may be responsible while she's at the clinical site...but say you/she forgets a med, for example, the RN is responsible because that's their patient. Maybe I make extra work for...
