3. worst part about being a nurse

   Tamera replied to jlw1412's topic in General Students

   For me I think that the worst part of being a nurse is that you work with others (not just nurses) that are not there for the benefit of the patient. As with any job you have to deal with slackers. Nursing is a wonderful profession. It is what you ma...

    Have you thought about a wound vac? These are great to use with such surgical wounds like yours & it is easy to use with minimal training. You may want to contact a couple of local DME companies & check it out. If you want a number to contact...

11. Survey: Do you think hospitals should require a uniform code for nurses?

    Tamera replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing
