    Is age 45 too old to start nursing???

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    What would you do to get ahead in the Line at the ER?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to maybe1day's topic in Emergency

    9 Hours is a long time to wait. It doesn't matter what condition he had, obviously it was bad enough to wait 9 Hours. Why did he put his mother in the car? Maybe he's pyche too! Therefore,...
