    Spikey9001 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Well, now that I've read the posts, it kind of makes sense... This may sound dumb, but where are the "good" vent posts about nursing? Why focus on the one bad patient, family, day or whatever when...

    I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    Spikey9001 posted a topic in General Students

    Long story short, I almost passed a med to a patient without the instructor directly present. Short story long, one of my postpartum patients was in pain and asked for a percocet to help relieve the...
