6. How to say no when someone asks for your stethoscope?

   ProudNeWRN replied to emt... rn student's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I think sharing is caring. Ear canal is just a skin and as long as you wipe it, there is no problem. Just let them know that you want it back asap and he/she owes you one. Good way to build a team...
