    Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    GeminiTwinRN replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    I think asking a nurse how she/he feels about "pushing drugs for the man" is not really where that question should be posed. If you want to ask about that, it might make more sense to ask the DOCTORS...

    Level 1 Trauma hospital: Need input

    GeminiTwinRN replied to btown annie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the other's advice. You might consider switching floors once your time is up. There are other PCU's out there,

    Whose responsibility?

    GeminiTwinRN replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    strangely enough, in the state where I work, all you have to do is go to the BON and type in the person's first and last name. Bingo. Their license # and status appears. while I don't necesarily...

    What math formula do you recommend for NCLEX

    GeminiTwinRN replied to puddingpie's topic in General Nursing
