   kistigirl84 posted a topic in General Students

   Why is it that you cannot give IM injections with a patient on bleeding precautions? Was reading this in a book and wonder why they singled out IM injections. I also cannot find anywhere in the books or internet that provides a rationale for this int...

14. New graduate help

    kistigirl84 replied to kistigirl84's topic in Job Hunt

    I apologize if I offended anyone by the use of this term. Sometimes I'm a little slow and forget how to spell gynecologist, and my phone autocorrects the short version to "gun" if I'm not careful, or I'm just too lazy to spell it out. My insurance c...
