   pajoopie1 replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    pajoopie1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys, I was searching the internet for a Spanish to English translation sheet for nurses and patients to use. I couldn't find any so I made my own for our hospital. We are now using it on quite a...
