  2. You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

  3. You're Hired!: The New World Of Hiring Nurses??

  14. Air Pockets in IV

    It takes as little as 30 ml of air to cause an air embolus. Like klone stated above you'd need a whole tubing of air to cause harm if that little at all. Air pockets and air bubbles just look messy to...
