    Student2Registered replied to Diva, RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  3. Do hospital patients get better care if they're nice

    Student2Registered replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Student2Registered replied to Student2Registered's topic in General Nursing

    the pain meds were in place and infusing as "originally" ordered. I never DC'd them b/c it didn't make any sense to DC pain meds literally "immediately" post op. I just left them as is and kept...

    Student2Registered replied to juststartinout's topic in First Year After Licensure
