    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    MunoRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    MunoRN replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    MunoRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    MunoRN replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    MunoRN replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    I've been less clear on what actually happened each time you offer specifics, but I feel like the wisest answer to your question at this point is that 'I'm

    New student pathway to becoming an Infusion Nurse

    MunoRN replied to Jetisan's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    You might consider a procedural area where patient's require IV's to be started. For our new grads we stick them (no pun intended) in the pre-heart cath unit for a day or two, they easily get 10-20...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    MunoRN replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean to suggest it's not routine for him. I do find however that how a patient interprets a situation is largely based on how their nurse characterizes it. If the nurse approaches an...

    President Biden thread

    MunoRN replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics
