   Holy crap, the ignorance is strong in this one. How many cases of GBS are linked to vaccines each year? How many cases are linked to exposure to illnesses? Not all cases are caused by vaccines. Now, how many people die of influenza every year? How ma...

8. CPAP on the unit

   nrfitchett4 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one. Nurse asks RT to provide PT with hospital mask for home machine. RT states he can't so that, RN gets mad because PT shouldn't have to go to unit for something they do at home and then comes on here ...
