    danu3 replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    I find this conversation interesting. It looks like it depends where you are. Where I am at California, it is very different. I volunteer at a small medium size hospital with the chaplaincy. The...

  10. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    danu3 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    To be fair, not only the husband, but the nurse (one nurse) and the aids who did the affidavits should take the polygraph test (since those are serious charges). So you'll need about 4 millions (1...

  11. Drug information website-any suggestions?

    danu3 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing
