    Halinja replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I don't suppose there is any 'right' thing to say, but I'm sure she appreciates your support. The best you can do is keep being there for her. It's a hard thing. The person who suicided is no...

    Rephase the question

    Halinja replied to Fancy Face's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They want you to do THEIR charting? Charting is a legal record. If I didn't do it or see it, I am NOT going to chart it. Wow. What a legal fiasco that would be in court. I'm still just a student...

    Halinja replied to Ben Franklin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't do it! Very few colleges and advanced practice programs will accept degrees or credits from a non-accredited institution. It would be so disheartening to put in all that effort and time and...

    Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Halinja replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I also agree with a previous poster...we need to concentrate MUCH more of our attention on prevention and early care, to prevent the huge run-up costs of catastrophic care

    Halinja replied to WanaBaNurse's topic in General Nursing
