    Rose_Queen replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Transition to Peds OR

    Rose_Queen replied to Toast&Butters's topic in Operating Room

    My OR doesn't have a separate peds and adult section. I will say that working with the little ones is well outside my comfort zone- we don't do pediatric cardiac surgery (with the very rare exception...

    Rose_Queen replied to Ebvien's topic in School, College Programs

    Should I report this nurse?

    Rose_Queen replied to laladeedee's topic in Medical-Surgical
