    Fear of Blood and Needles

    JBudd replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    Does your school discourage working?

    JBudd replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    JBudd replied to 86toronado's topic in Emergency

    Is This Bullying?

    JBudd replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The jello scrubs need to be made of the gooey lab produced gel used in gummy worms, so as to get the true essence of red jello. There is far more to red jello than just taste you know, tactile...

    JBudd replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    ER Practicum - What do I need to know?

    JBudd replied to FutureFLRN2014's topic in Emergency

    ER has it's own set of acronyms: those psych drugs can be called a "B52", or Vitamin H, or Vitamin A. Benadryl, Ativan, Haldol, Droperidol (that one is losing favor), Versed, Valium, Ketamine,...
