1. Need help..don't know if i should continue nursing

   Grizz replied to sweetpumpernickel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you don't like dealing with bs then don't be a nurse or a PA. People aren't at their best when they are sick/injured or otherwise need medical care, and their families tend to be worked up and stressed as well. Small talk does count when building ...

9. Patients should ALL be swabbed tested for HIV

   Grizz replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

   There are things I'd be WAYYYYYYY more concerned about than HIV, but if I let those fears dictate my life, why would I join the healthcare profession? I'm a counselor (and pre-nursing student) and I work with patients who are newly diagnosed, pregna...
