  5. Anyone have a positive hospital volunteer experience they would like to share?

    rph3664 replied to dallasga123's topic in Georgia Nursing

  9. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    rph3664 replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And if you read it, get the first version, the one that was published before we knew about AIDS. That puts a whole different spin on the story. Should anything like that happen, I wouldn't want to go...

    rph3664 replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yesterday, one of the MSNBC links had a headline saying, in effect, "Deliberate release of bioterrorism weapon......" I sure hope that was from a hacker, especially because the corresponding story...

    rph3664 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We had a student a while back who, whenever pretty much anyone but her preceptor spoke to her, would sneer and shrug her shoulders. Really a pleasant person to be around, ya know? I was very relieved...

  16. Bariatric Patients

    rph3664 replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    rph3664 replied to Prettyladie's topic in Texas Nursing
