    The more juice the more hits? Are nurses more thirsty for juice than other members of the general population? Sounds like a good research question!

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I have to wonder just why this thread was so popular? I don't think it was the critical thinking exercise that generated all the hits...

  14. Consequences of Bad Choices

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    If interest in this thread hasn't died yet I have just added a practitioner poll to measure certain perceived influences in nursing practice. You should see that poll at the beginning of the original...

  16. Consequences of Bad Choices

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could answer all your questions but the facts as I know them are there before you to read and ponder. The point of this anecdotal case study was to make us think about the choices we make in...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    This patient care case study presented some interesting challenges and decision making that involved the principles of ethics, duty and law. As you can see by the many responses many individuals had...

  22. Consequences of Bad Choices

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

  25. Consequences of Bad Choices

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing
