    ERNurse752 replied to catrn10's topic in General Nursing

    ERNurse752 replied to Fawn's topic in General Nursing

    Nowhere! It gets better as you get more practice though. You won't have to think about it as much and will take less time. Computer charting can be nice and speed things up as well...when it's...

  18. ER the T.V. Show

    ERNurse752 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

  20. burn patients

    ERNurse752 replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

  21. burn patients

    ERNurse752 replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    That is TOTAL BS. I hope things get straightened out when your manager comes back, and I hope they have to crawl on their knees to you, begging for your forgiveness. After you file a formal complaint,...

  24. Is ADN the right choice?

    ERNurse752 replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing
