    advice ..I'm freaking out

    wtbcrna replied to fms2004's topic in Patient Medications

    Both of these issues are silly and other than a verbal warning for not following policy that should be it. The 15 minute rule has little basis in research. It is just rule of thumb that is the de...

    And physicians have a very high burn out rate...That alone should speak volumes of why you shouldn't pick a profession on money alone. Professionalism and realism is in the eye of the beholder. IMHO...

    wtbcrna replied to Zagnonian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
