    New Grad Traumatized After First Interview

    wish_me_luck replied to rollieem's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is it appropriate to e-mail/contact a manager before applying for a position?

    3 or 4 siderails?

    wish_me_luck replied to MessyMomma's topic in General Nursing

    3...for the reason you stated. If someone tries to get up, they can get hurt worse with 4 up. I would put 3 up, call light within reach, keep area free of clutter, use "hip huggers", mats next to bed,...
