   Why Spanish people tend to be late for appointments or even skip them without notifying the provider? It is not because they are being impolite, it is part of their cultural practices, and now you have a clash of cultures: the one who believes being ...

    Again, saying that people born in European countries have most likely received the BCG vaccination is not accurate, firstly assuming is not best nursing practice. I certainly hope that you do not go by practicing nursing with assumptions about patien...
