    1. The incident with the doctor showed a lack of respect for someone on a very tight schedule. I, as a "regular RN", would have stepped aside and let him assess his patient. Doctors often have very...

    Laura, you were having trouble with head to toe assessments back in November and posted about these same sort of problems in clinical in February. Did you take any of the advice you received

    Is it dangerous for RNs/nursing students to give advice to people about their health
