    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Ethical Arguments Against Mandatory Vaccination

    Emergent replied to ldhrn73's topic in General Nursing

    I am advocating for further research into the complexities of immune response. We haven't fine-tuned this yet obviously. We have blanket protocols that don't take into consideration the individual...

    Unprofessional Behavior

    Emergent replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've known types that do this. They only do it for up to 6 months until a new victim comes along. It's kind of like a hazing period of time. It takes them a long time to trust somebody. They don't...
