    Abuse Culture in Nursing...How Far Does it Go?

    Kyrshamarks replied to HoneyBeGood's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What do you think can be done to improve access to mental health care?

    Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    Kyrshamarks replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    I promise you my watch is not a knock off. And actually those more expensive gold watches are less prone to bacteria staying on them than cheap plastic or silicone watches. Gold or even gold plate...

    Random question: Would you wear a $300 watch to work

    Kyrshamarks replied to TXRN44's topic in General Nursing

    So I guess that my everyday wear at work watch is a little over the top. It is a gold Rolex that only cost me a bit over $7000. It is heavy and large, but it will last well beyond any future grand...
