9. Why can't the other 49 states get ratio laws?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a link to Corona Ointment- it is the best stuff I've ever tried for dry hands and feet. When I get really dried out, I apply the ointment, then cotton gloves and socks. It works great! It was supposedly originally for horses, but they sell it...
