WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON FACEBOOK AND OUR BLOG
"I've always felt that nurses embody Harry Truman's motto, 'The buck stops here.' "Nurses most definitely lead the charge in making sure patients remain safe throughout their hospital stay." "I love hearing my patients tell their personal stories." "I'd be more than happy to wear hospital-provided scrubs at work if they would only purchase scrub pants that actually had inseams longer than 30 inches."
