  2. Please help me understand/Domestic Violence Question

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I am aware of stats, I am aware of a patient's reaction to her abuser in an ER setting. That doesn't help me to walk in his/her shoes. It doesn't help me to relate to what is going on in his/her...

    Bipley replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Bipley replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing
