    icuwant2rn replied to fronkey bean's topic in General Nursing

    icuwant2rn replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    icuwant2rn replied to fat cat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but if you are not physically able to go out to smoke by your self then I shouldn't have to take you! Actually, at the hospital I work in I refuse to. I have the patient sign an AMA paper...

    icuwant2rn replied to madimomma's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    icuwant2rn replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing
