  4. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    Q. replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    mcl4 I'm sure most of us would agree that if a nurse is found to be positive on a drug screen that she/he should be fired. I don't think that is the argument here. The argument is whether or not it...

  5. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    Q. replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

  7. Lethal injection nurse???

    Q. replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

  8. Lethal injection nurse???

    Q. replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

  12. Career Suicide??

    Q. replied to MelissaCT's topic in General Nursing

  14. Order for EFM (!)

    Q. replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

  15. Help on Med Surg from OB dept.

    Q. replied to Ekaye's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Q. replied to LindaHP's topic in General Nursing

    Q. replied to sanoca's topic in General Nursing

    Q. replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn
