  3. 1950s nursing

    allamericangirl replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

  4. And what is with the wacky interview questions?

    allamericangirl replied to princess99's topic in General Nursing

  9. We have this med order

    allamericangirl replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the doctor's attorney would argue with that point. The doctor's responsibility is to his patient who is depending on him/her for the best medical care he/she can provide. "the doc has two...

  14. Share you Deaconess Experiences!

    allamericangirl replied to kate930's topic in Online Distance Learning
