    NurseFrustrated replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    NurseFrustrated replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thank you both for your replies. Commuter, thanks for describing the things you do on your job. They are all things I am familiar with doing on the med-surge unit as well so that's a good thing. I...
