  4. What happened in the ER

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to Shadelyn's topic in Emergency

    I know that in my state you can go to Medical Records and fill out a form to have copies of your chart. I believe you pay by the page, and there is quite a bit of paperwork to complete. I would...

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to Mili's topic in General Nursing

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is not so exciting, but I will share it anyway. Right at shift change, I had a patient that was cleared to come off isolation for C Diff. Of course we had to put her in the shower chair, roll...

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in General Nursing

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to Chelle2780's topic in General Nursing

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    L&Dnurse2Be replied to onesmallspark's topic in General Nursing
