  4. How long can a patient go without urinating after receiving a Duramorph spinal?

    Turd Ferguson replied to willyRN86's topic in Orthopedic

  12. Almost done with nursing school..but......

    Turd Ferguson replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Nursing

    To add to this, a tattoo should not be any reason for an employer to discriminate against you during the hiring process. If they inform you that you need to cover it, just smile and say "not a...

  16. "Code Gray Certification"

    Turd Ferguson replied to sethmctenn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was more taken aback by the revealing of a patient's name. I'm not sure if it's a complete HIPAA violation, but any sentence that starts with "the patient's name is..." sends up a red flag for
