  1. I Need Help To Improve Writing Skill On Nursing Notes

    middleagednurse replied to yx5001's topic in General Students

    middleagednurse replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    middleagednurse replied to stacylethani's topic in Pediatric

    You are not bad, you are tired. With a challenging patient it's only fair that all staff take turns. Ask the charge nurse if someone can take this patient for a couple nights. You're only human, some...
