   Cindy-san replied to tigerlily345's topic in General Nursing

   I am definitely moving on. Almost half-way through grad school, at the moment. I do however feel like my best friend has become trapped in med-surg even though she says she "doesn't like it." I think...

5. Introduction - along with a few questions

   Cindy-san replied to HusbandOfANurse2B's topic in General Nursing

   I don't want to "let" my mother stay in a job that is making her physically ill either. That's why I'm working to help her with money and assisting her in researching new options for a new job. That...

6. Introduction - along with a few questions

   Cindy-san replied to HusbandOfANurse2B's topic in General Nursing

   Cindy-san replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

   My family has the sense when to take tylenol for their routine aches and pains, they don't need me to tell them. For anything unusal, out of the ordinary or exacerbated, I tell everyone to call their...

   Cindy-san replied to Cindy-san's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
