  3. Telemetry versus Med/Surg floor for beginners?

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lesley, Thank you for your supportive comments. Some of the other responses kind of brought me down. It's people like you who give nursing a good name. I bet you are wonderful with patients and...

  17. Attention OB or pediatric nurses

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, okay. I understand what people are saying about how students get on here at the last minute to have nurses do their homework for them. If my posting seemed to have reflected that, then I...
