    Tait replied to grantchatt's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    Tait replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nurses and Dry Hands

    Tait replied to elementguy13's topic in General Nursing

    I love Bath and Body Works "Look Ma New Hands" with paraffin. I HATE lotion, but this stuff smells great and I can wash my hands after applying it and still get most of the benefits without a slimy...

    Destroying medications

    Tait replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The only thing in that list that I find unnatural or offensive would be soap from baths and dishwater. Everything else is common in waste water and nature. I am in support of options that allow...

    Can nursing instructors see who's got what it takes?

    Tait replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Students

    I ran into this several times in my ADN and in practice. Not personally, but hearing it about other students/nurses. Personally I think instructors need to be cognizant of their students strengths and...

    Why are the divorce rates among nurses so high?

    Tait replied to TiffanyLe's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I don't think it matters what the other person does for a profession, my husband is a science geek/physics/computers. What matters is being with someone who understands that nursing is a...
