    Cali replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    That same thing happens where I work and I think it's because most of the nurses have kids my age. Some of them are old enough to be my grandmother. I try not to take it so seriously because I can...

  2. Challanging the Nursing Boards!!!!!

    Cali replied to morr4336's topic in General Nursing

  9. ob superstitions

    Cali replied to moz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Never say the "Q" word. The Med-Surg nurses always come up and say " It's quiet up here, don't you guys have any patients"? Soon after, we have many patients. If a pt. is checked and she is not in...
