  2. Thoughts on pain med with a range

    Actually she said it was the most controlled her pain has been. 5mg did work, she just needed it about every 2-3 hours. And she no longer needed IV morphine. And with Tylenol ATC, each day she needed less and less narcotic. Like I said, 10mg all at o...

  8. School Nurse Salary?
