   LC0929 replied to telenurse2009's topic in Patient Medications

   I appreciate the feedback, but I’m not sure that you read and understood what I wrote. Registered Nurses, unless something has changed in the past 6 months, cannot “diagnose” patients. I also...

    I’ve worked nights my entire nursing career and what I can tell you is this....you should absolutely not feel bad about passing things on to the next shift. There is a reason for 24 hour care. In...

    LC0929 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    What I find extremely disheartening is the fact that the “instructor” or “staff preceptor” is COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE for this. What’s even worse is that if this student has the potential of...
