1. I think I committed career suicide

   WSteven1 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

7. Do nurses make the worst patients?

   WSteven1 replied to Esme12's topic in Safety

   Do Nurses make the worst patients...in the words of Nursing students...YES!!!!! I've heard numerous times that when 1st year ASNs are doing clinicals and ask patients (who are/have been Nurses) the answer is NO. My question is that if you are wanting...
