  5. Who's charting is it anyway?

    nurseangel47 replied to Cattitude's topic in Home Health

    nurseangel47 replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  9. 2 drug errors in the last year

    nurseangel47 replied to mmsparkle's topic in General Nursing

  13. career guilt

    nurseangel47 replied to maggijo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it is your calling, and it sounds as if it is, the fact that you cannot get it out of your head, so to speak. Then, no, I would try to put the guilt feelings aside and pursue the dream you have of...

    nurseangel47 replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

    nurseangel47 replied to nursing4nena's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  22. Doctor Visit Gone bad or Good??

    nurseangel47 replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in General Nursing
