    How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    MunoRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    MunoRN replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    I like the vicarious sense of relief I get when dropping an NG in a patient who's belly is so distended it seems like they need to be rolled down to the juicing room, when as soon as you open the...
