    Got to use my neuro skills in real life!

    nrsang97 replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    I agree calling 911 would have been the better choice. In the OP she did say that the skater was on the bench. She didn't move him, or remove his helmet. He did these things on his own. OP you...

    Call Lights

    nrsang97 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing
