   A travel nurse who I used to be roommates with and I used to talk about writing a book together. We would call it "Agency." It would feature stories about working at various agencies and the clients and coworkers we meet there. It would also have a d...

   License Being Reported By Admin

   sideshowstarlet replied to Lina561's topic in General Nursing

   Do you not have patients who take blood thinners? If she CALLS THE POLICE about skin tears, what would she do about a bruise? And not that incomplete fall paperwork should get anyone reported to the BON, but I'm actually curious about how extensive y...

    Thanks, Davey! I'll be happy to keep you posted on the goings-on from the North South East West Conference Education Fornication Fermentation Room #82! Well, maybe not live from the NESW-CEFFR-82. I better watch my social media use from that room. It...
