    Triddin replied to Faith2018's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  17. I Think I my CPR Instructor Didn't Know What She Was Talking About

    Triddin replied to darobow's topic in General Nursing

    It was a simile - making the connection that compressions to an arrest is the same as applying direct pressure to an arterial bleed. They are essentially the first line and best treatment... you don't...
