    dria replied to Raisin08's topic in Case Management

  5. Experience and Degree

    dria replied to jenni82104's topic in Case Management

  10. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    dria replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    if were as easy as ban guns, reduce crime, i'd be all for it (well, probably not, but i'd be less against it.) unfortunately, it's not that simple. to date there are no studies that indicate that gun...

  15. New CM needs help!

    dria replied to scallisto's topic in Case Management

    dria replied to ski-nurse563's topic in Case Management
