  10. All these nurses writing articles

    Yes. I am not sure how the topic got on OSHA/Fire Marshal and other federal mandates. If you have a hospital wide policy allowing drinks at the nurses station, I would bet money you would be found in...
  11. Any bottle of paralytic I've handled was bright red with the words paralytic stamped all over
  12. Legal obligation for disaster relief

    I don't know. I suppose if the disaster was completely unpredictable, then yeah it would be fairly separate. In the southeast with hurricanes...there is at least a fair amount of predictability to...
  13. Legal obligation for disaster relief

    If it was decent enough there wouldn't be a need to threaten people's licenses or fire people over it...they'd be able to sustain the minimal staff requirement as needed through market forces....

  24. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    I brought up San Antonio and other cities as a metric of crime. The poster above was implying Sacramento was crime-ridden. That isn't the case when compared to other cities. Lets say the cost of...
