  12. Hilton Head Hospital uniforms

    JoeyDog replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet but I think this is a really dumb idea! Here is my suggestion, rather than color coding the departments why not institute a mandate that says ONLY nurses, CNA's, RT's ect can...

    JoeyDog replied to nitesky83's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, these are just TV shows they are not meant to be taken literally, they are just an escape from our own reality for an hour or so. I do believe that if you have no clue what goes on in a...

    JoeyDog posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students
