  6. "No self- respecting nurse"

    haras regnurps replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

  11. Surgery went well!

    haras regnurps replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not patients that have had their sternum sawed open do not hurt nearly as much as Thoracotomy incisions or Abd. incisions. They use far less pain meds during their entire hospital stays...
