8. Fragrance Sacrifice

   Dusty Trail replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Nursing

   PLEASE leave the fragrances at home. As I have gotten older I have become even more hypersensitive to perfume & cologne. My allergies only exacerbate the unplesantness. Recently had a HH NA for Mom who made me nauseous. I asked her if she was wea...
