4. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

   alyx replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

10. I shouldn't be a nurse...

    alyx replied to nanae_snow's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. We can't be all things at all times. Why do you believe that what you did was a "Mistake"? You did the right thing. You would have really been in a pickle if you had left those meds and they had fallen into the wrong hands. That's wh...
