  4. How common is charting ahead in ICU?

    MeganB1983 replied to SilleLu's topic in Critical Care

    We use epic and can chart an hour early. I'm on the med surg floor so charting early is hardly an option, I'm always so busy. We do Q4 assessments and if I did my assessment at 2300 instead of 0000 I...

    MeganB1983 replied to carlahall29's topic in General Students

    MeganB1983 replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

  10. Help dont know what to do with concept map

    MeganB1983 replied to sweetcara's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You don't have info written down from your patient? I would talk to your instructor because it will be next to impossible to put together a concept map when you don't have any meds written

    MeganB1983 replied to TiggerFreak's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What was she accusing you of doing? She could just be a mom who isn't dealing very well with her kids illness. If you are confident in your skills then I would not take this from her. File a report...

    MeganB1983 replied to RN_Indya's topic in Florida Nursing

    MeganB1983 replied to MeganB1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
