    Advice - Is NICU very different to other Nursing Specialities?

    RN403 replied to polkadotti's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    RN403 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting topic. I guess, yes, because it is common courtesy. However, any "toilet touching" for me is done with my foot...so, it doesn't really matter either way...to me at

    HIPAA?

    RN403 replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    JustBeachy is right. No matter how innocent a post seems; someone, somewhere might take it in a negative way. We all make mistakes, but, it is important that we learn from them. I wouldn't make any...

    Child dies after school nurse layoffs

    RN403 replied to RNIBCLC's topic in School
