    Nurse Connie replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Nurse Connie replied to maybug's topic in General Students

    Funny, but on page 1430 of Kozier, it says "Potassium and calcium are stored in the cells and bone, respectively." I agree with the other posters, I believe they mean it is abundant in the cells. But...

  16. Why do some people assume NS is easy?

    Nurse Connie replied to citylights89's topic in General Students
