Hi,

I thought it would be fun to play a little game and learn at the same time. I know there are alot of Student Nurses & Graduate Nurses so I hope ya'll participate.

So here are the rules: You have to either provide a definition to a term or give the correct name of the abbreviation (whichever the poster above you posts). Then when you answser (only if you know correctly)...then give a term or abbr. for the next person to solve (bolded if you can to make it stand out).

P.S. If there is more than one definition or name, give both.

P.S.S. Don't even think about googling it. The only resource you can use is your brain :D
