  2. Would this happen at your ER?

    I'm the OP again (if you didn't notice my name) When I left I cleaned up all the stuff, and the guy that ended up helping me told me which stuff I could throw away and which ones needed to be taken to...

    I can't find any for oncology. I think I might be transferring off of my MedSurg floor, and they mentioned this oncology floor on another campus. I guess oncology experience would still be similar to...

  13. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    I just don't think the whole family story is relevant. Neither is my belief that the daughter is a loser. I will say that the hospital knows this family, she's a frequent flyer and related to some of...
