    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Indigomune's topic in Operating Room

    Unfortunately, if everyone were an RN in the OR, i don't believe it would get rid of any problems. It might do away with one kind of problems, but it won't all go away. There's always the standard...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
