2. Debate: Nurses attitude,a contributing factor towards low patients turnout in rural areas

   logicalfallacy replied to Memepapi's topic in Student Assist

   "Low patient turn-out" is a reference to compliance/fu appts, etc. There are many reasons for that: low socioeconomic level, lack of knowledge, and nursing care in the home (country ppl take care of illness at home often, unless it's beyond their kn...

   logicalfallacy replied to nohseungjin's topic in General Nursing
