  19. Forced to resign

    YoutubeTheNP replied to Graceful_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Few things come to mind after your OP. 1. Why is it up to you to order labs? That's the MD/NP's responsibility. 2. Why are you/MD even checking CK-MB's anyway? This is old medicine, some...

  20. Restraints. Act first, then order? A Judgement Call.

    YoutubeTheNP replied to ARose11's topic in General Nursing
