  20. Did you get their bath done? Seriously?

    TheChair1 replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    I may get flamed for this but I think this is where private nurses should come into play. People need to realize how unfair the hospital system can be towards the nurse. So many nurses do not have...
