    Code Green and Emotional Trauma: How Nurses Help

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

    Correcting Name Labels on Lab specimens of Stroke Patients

    Here.I.Stand replied to lab211's topic in General Nursing

    The lab would never accept a tube that was mislabeled—especially when the chain of custody was broken like that. Life and death decisions can be dependent on accurate lab information.... not the...

    Here.I.Stand replied to Mqnurse13's topic in General Nursing

    It’s hard to say 100% but I was advised to choose med-surg because I wasn’t amazing in clinical, and they wanted my knowledge honed and reinforced to be in the best position for my NCLEX. It...
