4. How can I say anything?

   beautifulb replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

   I know, it is so hard to talk to someone about their weight. If the weight is due to overeating, it is so hard to change their weighs (oops, ways). Seriously though, if I have a pt. who is asking a...

   Thank you everyone for your replies. I ended up getting canceled the next day (nothing to do with the outburst ~ hopefully...). Today I went into work to drop a few things off and I had my adorable...

    beautifulb replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    I have oftened wondered--what is more important, sleep or exercise? I too would wake up early, exhausted, to exercise. I was losing sleep, but still exercised. Now, I wished I only had the desire...

14. Animal Cruelty ' Therapy'?

    beautifulb replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric
