    Agnes Anne replied to foxc1121's topic in General Nursing

    Agnes Anne replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    a spoonful of applesauce helps it slide right down. Those pills don't taste so bad, but the do stick as they begin to disolve, especially if you've broken them in two

    Agnes Anne replied to sameasalways's topic in General Students

    I try to offer a quick foot massage when checking for pedal pulses and edema. I'm already there, have the covers untucked and have their sox or booties off so why not?. I think it's a nice way to end...
