    2ndCareerRN replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    2ndCareerRN replied to ham22's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. Clinical Instructor Didn't Show Up

    2ndCareerRN replied to geekymomma's topic in General Students

  21. HIPAA/HIPPA infraction or not ?!

    2ndCareerRN replied to dachweiler's topic in General Nursing

  23. Child head circumference in the ER

    2ndCareerRN replied to jenturnrn's topic in Emergency

    My opinion is also that it is absurd to measure head circ. in the ER. We have no growth charts (easily remedied), and we do not have a trend on the kids we are measuring. I only do a very few, vp...

    2ndCareerRN replied to bennie's topic in Patient Safety Issues
