    Visitor Etiquette

    Asystole RN replied to MegEDRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A nurse is a nurse 24 hours a day, 365 days a year regardless of employment. It would have been unprofessional for you to not render assistance in a time of need. Nurses cannot ignore imminent threat...

    How do I get out of being a nurse?

    Asystole RN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Many programs do separate the clinical educators from the lecturers. It allows for a higher flow of students. For example you can have a DNP teaching 50 nursing students and then have 5 MSNs taking...
