    "Thank you for your service"

    Kitiger replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am, too. I don't see bad things happening in my immediate space, but I think I am firm enough to step up and say something if I did see it. I haven't been out & about in public much since...

    Kitiger replied to CABGpatch_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are right; those supplies are not yours to take home. You say you asked permission to take some to donate to the county clinic for the homeless. I would not have even done that unless I had...

    Reading oxygen flowmeters

    Kitiger posted a topic in Private Duty

    When you read an oxygen flowmeter, do you read at the top of the bubble, the middle of the bubble, or the bottom of the bubble? I was taught to read the middle of the bubble. And that is what I'm...

    Reading oxygen flowmeters

    Kitiger replied to Kitiger's topic in Private Duty

    I have one client (taller than I) who reads the middle of the bubble while looking down at the flowmeter. Since I read it with my face in the same plane, I consistently read 0.25 LPM lower. This...

    How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    Kitiger replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing
