  10. Are yahoo excelsior notes enough for exam?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to singlelife's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just remember, all of the "notes" that you find online were done by other people. If you want to cover your butt, and I'm sure you do, don't assume they are 100% accurate. Use them only as a study...

    Spazzy Nurse replied to shock-me-sane's topic in Psychiatric

    I gotta laugh because this happens all the time to psych nurses. Sometimes things just come so out of the blue we walk out wondering "what the hell just happened here?" And of course, later we always...

    Spazzy Nurse replied to RNin2007's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm sorry. It's tough losing a patient, especially one who struggles so much with a mental health issue that no one else can see on a scan or a test---only by their behaviors. I've lost a few and I...
