Nurses General Nursing

Published

All, I got this today. I was sure that the world's greatest nursing community would have something useful to add to the conversation. As far as I know, you do not need to be an ANA member to participate.

I have participated in some of their other panels and found it to be a very interesting process.

Is that a blend of fatigue and fugue??? ;~)

Yeah, I think some of us have experienced that state every now and then during trying shifts.

I was interested, but you have to be an ANA member, so that scotched it for me.
