    Consent forms?

    SouthernLPN2RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Who gets surgical consent forms signed? In my experience, the nurse has always been the one to get the pt to sign, but now that I'm coming back to the hospital, I'm hearing that the Dr is supposed to...

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Dayray's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you discussed this with the NM? Look at trends in pt satisfaction surveys, if available. When I worked on a surgical floor, we routinely called d/c'd pts and asked them about their stay and if...

    Vaginal birth not linked to urinary incontinence

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn
