  2. Phone nursing as first job?

    glutton4punishment replied to Izzy11's topic in Nursing Career

    Take it, and keep looking. Any experience is good for you. I don't think it will necessarily help you get a hospital position, just like home-health is totally different than acutes. It def won't...

    glutton4punishment replied to TheFloorisCold's topic in General Nursing

    glutton4punishment posted a topic in General Nursing

    glutton4punishment replied to RiverNurse's topic in General Nursing

    glutton4punishment replied to Aly529's topic in General Nursing

  21. range order rationale

    glutton4punishment replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, you give another one. The order is written that way on purpose so you have some flexibility to correctly manage pain. The way I see it, the Dr. "allows" for 12 Norcs per day, so the total dose...
