    jessiern replied to Patrick57's topic in General Nursing

    jessiern replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why do we always assume it is about drugs? (asked by a patient to me after I ask if he takes illegal substances) Well, possibly the urine that I saw ejected from your member-we actually *gasp* did a...
