  3. True allergy to lidocaine

    anticoagulationurse replied to virgochic36's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Probably not the perfect forum for your question. But... Would it be necessary to use a local anesthetic at all? Perhaps any other regular dentist/orthodontist around would be willing to "knock her...

    anticoagulationurse replied to adrienurse's topic in Patient Medications

  11. Oregon Requirements

    anticoagulationurse replied to curlynurseLPN1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ya, tell me about it! Been through all that. Hashed it out, and still don't get it. What I really don't understand is why WA is agreeable to letting me endorse another state's RN license here when...

  12. Quickest ASN to BSN option?

    anticoagulationurse replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning
