    chudder replied to chudder's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    chudder replied to chudder's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The "just a signature" comment was meant more to deflect criticism of the petition... as if signing the petition takes away from other advocacy efforts. It was not meant to diminish its importance. By...

  17. Are swans going "out of style?"

    chudder replied to TemperStripe's topic in MICU, SICU
