  5. I had no idea... med/surg vent

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. shooting up in the palms? why?

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    They both had these obvious little holes all over their palms, I suppose because of the fact that they're shooting this junk straight into the tissue so they don't close well. Patient 1 came down hard...

    all4ofus replied to Maria2694's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
