    Nosebleeds

    BrisketRN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your nurse, but I don't think anyone in the above comments has stated that children should bleed all over their classroom. I let the teachers know how to deal...

    TikTok Nurses Drama

    BrisketRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    There are 2.8 million nurses in the U.S. I don't think this one ding dong is going to ruin nursing for the rest of us. I do find it quite interesting that she's making so many videos with scrubs on...

    BrisketRN replied to Kooky Korky's topic in School
