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

    LOL! Again pinksugar, it is a matter of perspective. When I worked ICU, we would measure urine in a medicine cup to get the accurate ouput. On the floor, you just want to know if they went to the...

    It'sMe, RN, BBA, MBA replied to Orenda's topic in First Year After Licensure

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

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