    LPN1974 replied to lil_miss_attitude's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  2. Was I wrong to say anything?

    LPN1974 replied to lil_miss_attitude's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  3. Was I wrong to say anything?

    LPN1974 replied to lil_miss_attitude's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    LPN1974 replied to avery's topic in General Nursing

  8. Misdiagnosed in the ER :(

    LPN1974 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

  12. Nurses, Will you work OT for straight pay?

    LPN1974 replied to klondike's topic in General Nursing
