  2. Short Rant Alert!

    AcuteHD replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

  11. Rectal Dialysis?

    AcuteHD posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  12. Rectal Dialysis?

    AcuteHD replied to AcuteHD's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    AcuteHD replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm bummed that I bummed you. Rest assured that I was nice about it and transferred her to a facility that does in center HD, home HD, PD and is better staffed. But, point taken.

    AcuteHD replied to comocean's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
