    Being setup?

    hppygr8ful replied to RedHeadedBrat's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    All the advice above is very sound. I won't comment on the legal ramifications as that is not allowed per TOS. Still the medications you took that night do not appear to be part of an evidence based...

    hppygr8ful replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

    We give Phenergan IM and PO during detox but how the patient gets it depends on their COWS or CIWA score which is an objective assessment. For non detox patients who may be seeking a high the nurse is...
