    OwlieO.O posted a topic in General Nursing

  6. Diagnosing versus identifying symtpoms

    OwlieO.O replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Nursing

  8. Diagnosing versus identifying symtpoms

    OwlieO.O replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Nursing

    Those I understand. Perhaps I'll reiterate my question - what is criteria for determining the difference between diagnosis and symptom? Like I stated - a physician could diagnose a fracture, but it...

  10. Are pattern/print scrubs unprofessional outside of pediatrics?

    OwlieO.O replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  14. Are pattern/print scrubs unprofessional outside of pediatrics?

    OwlieO.O replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Let's ask this question. Would you want your hematology-oncologist treating your leukemia to wear bugs bunny patterned lab coat, instead of just white? It would be weird.... I would feel the same way...

  24. Is it possible to refuse to care for a patient?

    OwlieO.O replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
