    DeniseRNBSN replied to Still Riding's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree. I also have a cardiology Littman. My $40 Littman grew legs and walked away when I put it down. I refuse to let this one leave my neck while I'm working. You will get used to it around your...

  10. How about this for an order?

    DeniseRNBSN replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    DeniseRNBSN replied to DeniseLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Our neuro-ICU is the guinea pig for our entire trauma center. Open visitation 24 hours, with the exception of shift change. None of the nurses agree with it because we are a NEURO-ICU. Most of our...
