   LightningBug replied to sarahguziki's topic in General Nursing

   My recommendation is to stick with your schooling if you're a second year persuing an AA or AS. You're already so close to completion, and you never know what having your RN license may help you with in the future. If you're a BSN student, then you...

2. How do I walk back into a room

   LightningBug replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

   My sympathy to you. In your grief, you are reliving the last moments of your dad's life. In time, you will see the sum of his life, and not focus simply on his final moments. It is important to remember that he is at peace now, and he went knowing...

   I love my Littmann stethoscope. Mid-priced at the local scrub store - I have seen them cheaper online. I also get my shoes at the local scrub store. I have had NurseMates. Some have been excellent, some have been shabby. Also like the watches th...
