Hhhhmmmm. Where and what exactly is this? Sounds like something I would be interested in. Online? Thanks. I mean obviously, I know what health assessment and physical examination is but I am wondering if such a course exists outside of nursing school...

Phew and Lol. So True about happy to get out of the room during a code to take care of other pts or pee or chart. Yeah, the ACLS idea was a little moment of insanity. So not ready to do that yet. Good idea about the classes of drugs etc. I will start...

Wow. Sounds like "heaven". I'm going to church this Sunday. I hope that the person who posted "how do you know it's not a ghost doesn't work in hospice and I am not even a Christian and not even religious.

HaHa. I have thought and said every single one of these things (and worse). I have to say you were pretty nice about it. Friends and family who aren't nurses think I am evil if I say stuff like that. If they only knew that there are thousands of us t...
