    Giving last name in report

    Here.I.Stand replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    Am I the only one who was never taught to document handoff? For an inter-facility transfer maybe, but not every change of shift. My thought is if it's so important to CYA, why stop at the name? We...

    Here.I.Stand replied to Stillthinkin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was challenging, but I thought the music degree I had begun to pursue was harder. It wasn't the lessons or performances that were so hard, but the philosophy-heavy humanities classes were......

    Here.I.Stand replied to Ambersmom's topic in General Nursing

    Let me pick your brains :) ICU/ED

    Here.I.Stand replied to TammyTho's topic in General Nursing

    I'm leaning toward the stepdown position. As a new grad you are still honing your assessment skills, critical thinking, and "big picture" thinking. In the ED you would be doing a lot of focused...
