  3. Class Sizes

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    kukukajoo replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Stick to your guns! If you are looking for information to back up your claims of all this being unsafe, I would fax the pharmacy that is prescribing and ask for an opinion. They will know what...
