Reading?

The rules: grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 66, post the 5th sentence. Don't mention the title.

    "Rodney and Starzomski (1993, p.24) and Davis and Aroskar (1991, p. 65) describe several strategies to help nurses overcome possible organizational and social constraints that may hinder the ethical practice of nursing and create moral distress for nurses."

    Went back to school...*sigh* I don't read fun books anymore..
