  1. Just graduated from Fort Hays State University RN to BSN

  2. Hematoma with blood draws

    Laurab14 replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    "or find out what is the root cause of the hematomas." I believe that is what she was doing by asking the question. All good nurses question if there is something we could do better- whether it is...

  16. How to Determine Whether a LTC / SNF is Well Run

    Laurab14 replied to vintagemother's topic in Activism, Healthcare
