    gauge14iv replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    gauge14iv replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    FIFTY EIGHT? How?? Hmmmmm reminds me of the pharmacy error story on 20/20 where a patient got 100 mg of coumadin instead of 10mg in her pill bottle. You can imagine what the outcome of that one was....

    gauge14iv replied to sirena1481's topic in Texas Nursing
