    xtxrn replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah, but it can 'bump' 10-15 mm/hg before you can hear it...BTDT when mine has been checked at the doc's office. I'll note when I see the 'bumps', and then what the nurse tells me she got......

    xtxrn replied to RNdiva505's topic in Nursing Humor

  12. Buying your own equipment?

    xtxrn replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Could I get some help with my ER Nurse school project please? :)

    xtxrn replied to MosquitoXEL's topic in General Nursing

  14. discovered and reported falsification of VS

    xtxrn replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    xtxrn replied to CareteamRN70's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah- that stinks. If you had a reaction to the products needed to care for dentures, surely they couldn't use that as an excuse to pass you over.... I do not like these people I'm sorry you're...

  20. discovered and reported falsification of VS

    xtxrn replied to vg1003's topic in General Nursing
