  6. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    dauschundlover replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    dauschundlover replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    dauschundlover replied to dauschundlover's topic in General Nursing

  16. Just one persons opinion

    dauschundlover replied to dauschundlover's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with u. Nothing damages us as nurses as when one of presents herself or himself as knowing it all. It doesn't take much for a pt. to loose confidence in you as their nurse then when another...

  21. Are you my waitress today?

    dauschundlover replied to adria37's topic in General Nursing

  23. Brainless People!

    dauschundlover replied to mickeypat's topic in Geriatric, LTC
