    goats'r'us replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    goats'r'us replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    when i was on my first grad placement, another nurse paid me 5 bucks to call a doctor with his patient's INR because she was too scared of him. funny thing was, i got on brilliantly with him, and...
