   prep8611 replied to nursenursern's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly doctor should have scanned him when he became lethargic. Vomiting and positive troponins from catecholamine release are easy indicators of hemorrhagic bleed but were more likely to be the...

    prep8611 replied to barbaralynn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Coding someone who is above 80 or cancer filled is a terrible experience for me but it happens once a month. What people also fail to think about is how the person will be if we do get them back......
