  6. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    CABGpatch_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I swear. I think some people would be saying some of the same things about Martin Luther King Jr and the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's that they're saying here about the BLM movement. Such...

  7. Are nurses required to read preop H&P

    CABGpatch_RN replied to Twm2021's topic in General Nursing

    CABGpatch_RN replied to Alicia Claire's topic in General Nursing

    CABGpatch_RN replied to Statdotcom's topic in Patient Safety Issues
