    BCgradnurse replied to alfredlikes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    BCgradnurse replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    The purpose is not to teach them the proper use of the weapon-it's to discuss whether the weapon is stored safely and securely so accidents are minimized. Is that so awful and
