  4. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    DarlinNurseRed replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    DarlinNurseRed replied to nosonew's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    DarlinNurseRed replied to angelique777's topic in Nursing Humor

  11. Like some input on pins for ceremony

    DarlinNurseRed replied to RNsRWe's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. Care plans + finding Nsg articles: 2 really good websites everyone should know about!

    DarlinNurseRed replied to IvoryLena's topic in General Students

    I really enjoyed nursewise.com in addition to the sites listed-it has lots of "insider information" and common sense

  17. Like some input on pins for ceremony

    DarlinNurseRed replied to RNsRWe's topic in First Year After Licensure
