    Jerico replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    A one year old with scoliosis? I guess it may be so. In my opinion the very BEST children's scoliosis expert is Dr. John Killian in Birmingham, Alabama. I have good knowledge of his professional...

  14. Umm...I will have 47 residence to care for !!!!!

    Jerico replied to BigB's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I too, realize rules are required because there people out there who use NO common sense and no judgement abilities. Now: WHY should GOOD and REASONABLE people who CAN use moderation and common sense...
