    ambr46 replied to granolapher's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    All I know is that I am tired after 12 hours and don't have the same mental energy and clarity that I have earlier in the day. What is really scary though is the nurse who clocks out after 12 to head...

    ambr46 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column
