    G-tube supplies

    OldDude replied to Murrphy66's topic in School

    In the hospital it's a single use thing...but in my clinic I use that stuff until I can feel the plunger start to "drag;" since it's only used for the same student and same medicine. I've had supplies...

    District Policy doesn't back up nurses.

    OldDude replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    Ugh. I frequently use the term "industry standard" because it is self explanatory and applies across the board as to what you are referencing. I would suggest your next step is to approach...
