    neuron replied to nurse83522h's topic in General Students

  5. Ethical Dilemma

    neuron replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

  13. Is aspirin a blood thinner?

    neuron replied to ChloeLissa's topic in Patient Medications

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Well, I see that I am a team player, just don't want to hold someone else's hand when we are 4 weeks from graduating. If they can't do their nursing duties by now, then I'm not sure what to
