    Elisheva replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

  3. Unit Clerks are Useless!

    Elisheva replied to HUCtoRNBScN's topic in General Nursing

    Elisheva replied to msmel321's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is a WORLD away from reality nursing. Just wait. I stuck it out for two years on a busy med-surg floor. I wish I'd just admitted that it wasn't for me sooner and looked for something...

  9. MS Flare or Conversion Disorder?

    Elisheva replied to all4schwa's topic in General Nursing

    There's a great forum called MS world that you might want to visit in your spare time. Some of the best people in the world. My guess would be that 25-30 percent of them would tell you that they...
