  5. Why doctors never write diagnosis for their prescribed pills?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

  8. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a hard job, we all know what that is. No support, long hours etc...and this has been going on for quite some time. There is a point where everything comes to a head. This is what is going...
