    Is anyone else totally frustrated with CO nursing?

    CityKat replied to BeccaRN1970's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yeh, I see the safety and liability issue. But what about putting bars on the windows of the upper stories? It sounds crazy, but something about having a window shut all the time versus open sort of...
