    Medic_Murse replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Critical Care

    Federal Marijuana Ban Lift Effects on Nursing

    Medic_Murse replied to bluma5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    At this point...what's the point? You have nurses that show up hung over, or still drunk from the night prior, loaded up on opiates, etc. I hate to say that, but it's

    So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    Medic_Murse replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing
