  6. whats less stress.... pacu or OR?

    PostOpPrincess replied to adio412's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift in a PACU is not the same as day shift. Also depends on the acuity of your patients, and the co-morbids. Our PACU hops, but it is super stressful at times. We've had three codes in the...

    PostOpPrincess replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    PostOpPrincess replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

  16. Why is it so easy to get an LPN or ADN so easily riled up?

    PostOpPrincess replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

  23. Prayer with patients if you don't believe

    PostOpPrincess replied to toninz's topic in General Nursing

    PostOpPrincess replied to TOYMECH's topic in General Nursing
