    Meds from LPN's purse

    I'd be following the chain of command, like, yesterday. There's no time to think about it; this other nurse, as you've described it, is practicing medicine which, as you know, is outside her scope as...

    Is a degree from excelsior.edu worth anything?

    I do not understand why, time and time again, educated adults cannot carry on a conversation without resorting to insults, insinuations and name calling. The purpose of the thread was to determine if...

    Another Australian soldier dead

    I, too, hope the family of this brave soldier is somehow comforted by the magnitude of his sacrifice. What a sad event; these brave men and wome, so far away, should be home with their loved ones....
