  3. RNs with less than 1 year of acute care experience

    OCRN3 replied to nursetobeoneday's topic in California Nursing

    OCRN3 replied to Enowagi's topic in Texas Nursing

    OCRN3 replied to enzati's topic in General Nursing

    Some doc's want to do rounding with the nurse in med/surg and some don't. It can be a good idea if the patient is needy and has lots of questions. It's good for the nurse to see what the doctor...
