  2. Anyway to get cigarette smell out of a stethoscope?

    I love that we have nurses here from Children's & MGH. (I know there is no place like it. Gotta love Boston for being top notch in medicine. ) I cruised around one night a few weeks ago just admiring this, getting out of the car & taking all ...

    See, that would work for me. Riddled with insomnia plenty of nights anyways, & then tend to crash @ a downtime during the day after those nights. You're working one of my dream jobs - ED night shifts. Congrats on the position, btw.

  15. Too many know it "allnurses"

    One of my fav responses thus far. A lot of very good ones, from freedom of speech to one of the many underlying purposes this forum was initially created for. And some people just love to argue &/or be know-it-alls. I say drown out the ones who ...
