    Strange, so if health care is so good in Canada why do so many cross the border to get treatment? And why is the news so loud now about the Canadians wanting change in their health care? Odd, the...

    It'sMe, RN, BBA, MBA replied to LEM1234's topic in General Nursing

    Good answer. My only fault with any of this is that the DOCTOR should be held responsible for making a decision on giving or holding a medication. Since when did the RN becom such a decision maker?...

    It'sMe, RN, BBA, MBA replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing
