    Kooky Korky replied to Schwimmen's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Kooky Korky replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    Kooky Korky replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pts should be told before they go to the pharmacy that this one is OTC and you will have to go inside to get and pay for it yourself. Insurance doesn't cover it. And some people just might not have...
