  1. How are staffing issues at your facility/department?

    Queen2u replied to Queen2u's topic in General Nursing

    Queen2u replied to NursesRus's topic in General Nursing

    Queen2u replied to Queen2u's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Queen2u replied to SneakySnake's topic in General Nursing

    That's not a stupid mistake!!!!! At least you didn't pass a wrong medication or send the wrong patient in for surgery! If it makes you feel any better, once I charted "Patient care/change of shift...

  14. Losing hope

    Queen2u replied to jeyre1847's topic in General Nursing
