    Ha ha this is great. Yeah...they failed to tell us how many different bodily fluids can come out of how many different orifaces all in the same person. I don't recall anyone telling me to have as...

  9. Care Plans Help Please! (with the R\T and AEB)

    danggirl replied to RNinJune2007's topic in General Students

    Yes a good careplan book would help but as you get out into the work force all facilities have different ways they want you to write them. For school, I'm assuming it is stll the same old stuff. So...
