  9. critique please

    richardjboro1 replied to catzy5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    chief complaint is why she's in the hospital in the first place. So, in this case it sounds like some kind of surgery. So you would write the chief complaint as: Pt in for removal of.......whatever...

  10. critique please

    richardjboro1 replied to catzy5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    richardjboro1 replied to catzy5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  15. Laptop or Tablet PC?

    richardjboro1 replied to wiseintulsa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
