  16. Why do patients.....?

    djh123 replied to ArrowRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Or, when you ask them why they're not taking it now, they'll say "Oh, I might need it tonight"... and then I'll take it back and tell them that we need to know when they take it so that we'll know...

    djh123 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing
