  1. Do you actually wear gloves/gowns/masks ?

    Personally and honestly, I always wear the apropriate PPE when I am at work because I do not want to transmit microorganisms to the other patients in the ER that I work in. Besides I am protecting myself and my family. Just because something doesn't ...
  2. Need help with nursing diagnosis

    Wow!!! That is very unsafe for the patients and you. If I were you I would find another job. As soon as something bad happens your license is on the line. As far as combative patients, restraints work very well!! Good luck to you!
