    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

  10. How does your ED handle "walk-in" MIs?

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

    Thank you for that. I think I needed some reassurance that I did what I could given the circumstances. I think what really unnerved me most was that I felt utterly helpless in the triage room and I...

    DayDreamin ER CRNP replied to TopSecret's topic in General Students
