    Experiment!

    GrumpyRN replied to JKL33's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    "Thank you for your service"

    GrumpyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you macawake, that is exactly what I meant, as you say a European thing. I want to make it absolutely clear (and I'm sure macawake is the same), we do thank people for WHAT they have done...

    "Thank you for your service"

    GrumpyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    GrumpyRN replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is not true, the evidence does not show that. “Moreover, because the vaccine is effective in preventing covid-19 disease, which in itself is a cause of blood clots, it likely reduces the...

    GrumpyRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    As a male nurse in the UK for 35+ years I have never catheterised a female. I would refuse point blank to do that but I would not expect to be asked. The closest I have come is supporting the patients...
