    Work in NZ or USA?

    ghillbert replied to babyjr's topic in International Nursing

    ghillbert replied to piscean75's topic in General Nursing

    bad experience with a male nurse

    ghillbert replied to bigd123's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Work in NZ or USA?

    ghillbert replied to lilybee25's topic in International Nursing

    There's something severely wrong with a BP that high, if it truly was. I would have been making a LOT of noise to get orders at that point and mention that if I didn't, I'd be documenting that dr...
