    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Emergency

    I would imagine so. I don't know on what planet having a bunch of acute psych patients in a confined closed area with chairs is ever a good idea. I am actually surprised the various agency's having...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    DOC was propofol
