    DeeAngel replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    A 10 year old should be old enough to read the warning signs and realize that what she had in her hand was not a sticker! At 10 years old I would have absolutely realized that what I held in my hand...

  2. Grandparent's medications pose danger to children.

    DeeAngel replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

  7. Ethical Issue -Missing Prescriptions

    DeeAngel replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    DeeAngel replied to nursing assit. 2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    DeeAngel replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

  13. Range Orders

    DeeAngel replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

  16. Am I crazy?

    DeeAngel replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you could take one or two classes a semester in prerequesites that will be needed for nursing school. But for nursing school itself, it is all encompassing; you eat, sleep, go to school/study...

    DeeAngel replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Patient Safety Issues
