    jonear2 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    jonear2 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

  22. petty ? about med student

    jonear2 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, I think I agree that the med student probably shouldn't have helped the pt up because he probably didnt know about the pt's status. I know I wouldn't have been too happy if the med student...
