  7. Your story raises red flags with me, and I don't think it confirms the point you were trying to make, but its partially it's because we don't know your background and experience. Were you icu/ Er...
  8. It was a horrible event and the nurse screwed up, but I can guarantee you that every error made is from not doing checks or having a momentary lapse of judgment. You will make errors, which may or may...

    I personally like my young lightly roasted and sprinkled with salt before eating them
  12. I wouldn't say infection is a current priority based off the evidence offered. It sounds more like a " risk of" at best. Low hgb really has no bearing on infection, neither does liver cancer, unless...
  13. Mandatory Vaccination

    Many hospital policies leave me wondering why; however, the fact is either you accept their terms or not work for them. However, think of it from the organization's perspective. An employee gets sick...
