  1. Drawing Blood From PICC Lines

    emily_mom replied to rileygrl11's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    emily_mom replied to jaxnRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. Frightening events during chemotherapy

    emily_mom replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Oncology

  8. Do they round up GPA's and if so when?

    emily_mom replied to Fusternc's topic in General Students

    We only have two left in our class. It's funny because the little old ladies think they are docs and just hang on their every word. We wear name pins and announce that we are students, but they...

    emily_mom replied to louloubell1's topic in Ob/Gyn

  16. new grads that don'y ask questions

    emily_mom replied to altomga's topic in General Nursing

    I think very few new nurses don't want to learn. I think they are afraid of asking stupid (and there is no such thing) questions because it will show their inexperience or incompetence in an area....

  18. full nights vs. rotating

    emily_mom replied to bluegirl's topic in General Nursing

    emily_mom replied to km rn's topic in General Nursing

  24. Doctor's office vs. hospital

    emily_mom replied to tsgarman's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic
