    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in General Students

  17. Why don't nurses consistently take patient respiratory rates?

    PhillyRNtoBe posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering what your thoughts are on this. I was given an article in class about a study conducted in New Zealand to find out why taking a patient's respirations isn't common practice by RN's in...

    PhillyRNtoBe posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
