  20. What would RN's do?

    I never even thought about having a titer drawn for chicken pox! To be honest with you, I don't even remember if I took my son to the Dr. or not. I don't think I did - It was so long ago! I will have...
  21. Lost my entire life hisory nursing file

    If you don't have another copy of the file, you will have to do a lot of searching to gather the information again. Good

  23. What would RN's do?

    My son was vaccinated on schedule. Granted he is 10 and there are now more vaccines then when he was born. At that time the chicken pox vaccine was optional and I saw no need for it. Afterall - my...
