   ozned replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

2. Flu Shot or Mask?

   ozned replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I am on page 8 of the comments. I have not yet seen anyone address the possibility of masking the patients. If, in fact, the true goal is to protect the patients, why wouldn't you mask them? It seems silly, out of the box, but think about it. I am no...

   ozned replied to RachelLVN's topic in New Nurse
