Agnus: I also appreciated your succinct desription of Holistic Nursing. Here is the quote from above: Hollism is a philosophy that focuses on the whole person. The idea is you consider spirit, mind,...
aquarius4u: Yes. The New Mexico Heart Hospital is great. I just went to a Cardiac Conference they put out for Health Professionals. I have worked there, as an Agency Nurse, many moons ago. I view them...

Home Health Triage is VERY different then Telephone Triage. YOUR HH Company has the option of going out rather then sending into an ER or primary care physician. I am going to move your post to the...
I would not recommend the facility. I have heard they are trying to close the facility but the community so badly needs it, that they are made to stay open. This is from a friend in the area. I hope...
