2. How do you give out the pills?

   CO2emission replied to CO2emission's topic in Correctional

   CO2emission replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   I'm not sure active/passive is about different learning styles...it's more about teaching styles. Learning should be student-centred not teacher-centred. And does it have to be one or/vs the other?...

   CO2emission replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

12. Pain is subjective?

    CO2emission replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing
