    Kype replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kype replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kype replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

  9. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    Kype replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm more of a big picture thinker. We can all squabble intellectually about vax and employment rights etc. Except that's much like making sure to dust the trophies while a tornado rips your house...

    Kype replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kype replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Here is my input as a returning RN of 25+ years. I had to retire due to neuropathy disability and I'm glad/afraid to return. During 1995-1999, I was president of the Polyclinic Nurses'...

    Kype replied to moonrose2u's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! Since this may be a conversational, professional, colleage type of chat room? Yes? Since I worked days, nights, weekends, holidays, 8s, 12s, sometimes 3-4=5 shifts in a row, I have...

    Kype replied to moonrose2u's topic in General Nursing
