    Magsulfate replied to RnTx81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think you might be over thinking this. If you have a positive you will hear from your case manager. They don't mess around and hang on to those results, they're going to be calling you that very...

    Magsulfate replied to Whitesranch's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, sorry to here this! I'm not sure what to say. You can't turn back time and save him. I would like to say that you've learned a lesson from this but I would be putting it mild. Things happen,...
