    fab4fan replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    fab4fan replied to abbafrazz's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, illel, but I have personally had it with these kinds of posts. If she believes so strongly in her superiority, she should have no problem defending herself. And I still maintain that the...

  11. BSN! Ya HOO!

    fab4fan replied to abbafrazz's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was bad or uncalled for...she put it out there, so she needs to take any fallout that results. I am sooooooooo tired of student nurses coming on the board and saying how things...

  16. Jeh. Witnesses refuse blood products and albumin, but accept organ transplantation...

    fab4fan replied to Gldngrl's topic in General Nursing

    This is a conscience decision. Taking an organ is much like eating meat...you can't bleed every drop of blood out of a piece of meat. You can get more info about this at the only official website for...

  25. Gifts For Nurse Appreciation Day

    fab4fan replied to carolce's topic in General Nursing

    Call me a cynic, but this looks like a thinly veiled attempt at getting some advertising/marketing in the back door. Really, as someone else said, way too serious an issue for a gift basket
