  1. Do you have friends at work?

    APBT mom replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I was just talking about this with one of my friends. To me work is work. I have no problem having work friends but I won't go to the get togethers or girls night outs. I've only seen problems with...

    APBT mom replied to CruzanNurseRN's topic in Florida Nursing

  15. Desperately Need Help With Care Plans

    APBT mom replied to LVN2006's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You wouldn't be able to use one if someone did because you have to format the careplan for your patient. If you don't hve a care plan book I recommend getting one because it'll make writing them out...
