    Men not helpful

    Apple-Core replied to Sarah2018's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thoughts on Covering Own Shift

    Apple-Core replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in Patient Medications

    Ahhhhh - that makes sense - so it is a way of pulling the med in the needle shaft into the barrel of the syringe, and then expelling any air so that the only thing left is the med.... Thank

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2018

    Apple-Core replied to jen91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Apple-Core replied to brunette2296's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Did I break HIPAA?

    Apple-Core replied to brunette2296's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPPA or not, I can't believe you think it was appropriate or OK to post something like that. I strongly advise that you avoid posting anything whatsoever to do with work on any form of social media...

    Question about Nursing Diagnosis

    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in General Students

    Yeah - maybe you're right. I know that as nurses, we cannot give a "medical diagnoses", and our focus is on the human response to disease, illness, or injury etc...but to me, both of those are human...

    Apple-Core replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Apple-Core replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in General Nursing
