As a pre-nursing student, I can emphatically say "Hell no!" 18 years ago, my mother struggled through LVN school as a single mother with a 3 year old (me). Since then, I've watched her rise through the ranks to where she is now as a CEN Charge RN. Th...

Oh goody, my specialty! See, I worked ER/OP Registration for a while, and got to see lots of stupid things entered in ProMed by co-workers. "vomiting, no nausea"--really, guys? REALLY? "paperclip in peepee"--EXACTLY how it was entered into ProMed whe...
