  6. Why so hard to apply as a staff nurse in the philippines especially National Capital

    zero. replied to TakumiFujiwara's topic in Philippines

    My dear colleagues, I think it's not the need for "padrinos" that's making the situation so hard. Simply put, there's just too many, way too much nurses in the Philippines right now. There are how...

  12. Aspirating or flushing the catheter lock solution?

    zero. replied to pineau's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  16. Thirst-Something To Think About

    zero. replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  17. Thirst-Something To Think About

    zero. replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
