   AZRNHH replied to charp101's topic in Wound

   Good question!! I have usually put "0" on the depth of these ulcers because the depth is so small I cannot really measure it. But I suppose I could estimate that it is 0.01cm...Interesting question.

2. Unna boot

   AZRNHH replied to bethroew's topic in Wound

   I do not think it is a good idea to "share" any dressing products among patients. This would never be done in a hospital and I don't think it should be done in a clinic either. There are too many risks of spreading bacteria (as you pointed out). The ...

9. Any Tucson nurses getting together for fun?

   AZRNHH replied to AZRNHH's topic in Arizona

   I looked in that section, but the forum was primarily for discussing programs and appeared to consist of nursing students in the process of applying for school. So I did not post there. I'll see if I get any takers here and then maybe try my luck t...

10. Any Tucson nurses getting together for fun?

    Am new to this community and was hoping to connect with other nurses in Tucson to chat, vent, laugh, share and maybe do some fun things with. Are there any nurses out there that meet? I work in Home Health and have been feeling a bit isolated/...
