So, today was the big day. Welcome. I would not get the dosage book. I never used mine. It is very, very basic math in that book. In nursing !, they will have a Dosage Boot camp where they will teach you what you need to know. So save your money....

True, you don't have time in acute care. But you are assuming that they do not want to deal with them. At some point we need to address WHY a person is non-complient. What have they tried. What was working, what wasn't, etc. It is a process with ...

As in all things, buyer beware. I see this no different then the TV hawkers taking money from the elderly and spending it on private planes, etc. No harm in asking. There are always going to be such people. But, I have no problem donating to a fa...
