    tvccrn replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

  19. Should I Have Stepped In??

    tvccrn replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    NO, it's not safe enough for me. I am not trained in scene safety, I am trained in nursing. If there is a chance that I might be injured and the police are already there, I let them do their job....

    tvccrn replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing
