  3. A Letter To All Nurses

    its hard for me to understand why people cant disagree on a topic without making it personal. some arguments will never be "won" or "lost" and in the big scheme of things, does it really matter?

    This isn't about patient care, it isn't about whether you are an ADN or a diploma nurse, this isn't about whose a better nurse, ~yes it is. if you asking if we should "raise the standards" to a BSN then you are insinuating that ADN and diploma are s...

  14. visitors hell

    in the back of my mind i keep the thought that this is probably the only thing they can do for their loved one. seeing that aunt marge has a pillow might be the very last thing they can do for her. it may seem stupid to us but its not to them. so fa...
