  13. Patient Assessment

    What a crock! Do You know how many people I stopped from drowning in fluids with that ‘piece of crap” as he said. Do you know how many hypoactive bowel sounds .. trying to dodge SBO’s....
  14. Patient Assessment

    I do the same in this instance if I’m on nights. I’ll circle back once visiting hours are over, or if their hubby or wife is staying over I just let them know what I’m going to do and they...

  22. Roe v. Wade abandoned by Supreme Court

    Interesting….this may need to be explored furthered . This may be what is needed for kids and teens, everybody for that matter. Like some public health infomercial like those lung commercials from...
