    Shed13911 replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Shed13911 replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

  18. Deceiving the Nurse...

    Shed13911 replied to jnette's topic in Nursing Humor

    That was really a good one but I could never get past it being a urinal and it would seem dirty even if it was brand new. That is like nurses who put chips in a new bedpan for a party when they have...

    Shed13911 replied to justjenn's topic in General Nursing
