    Fear of vomiting and vomit?

    anh06005 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I think almost all nurses have that "one thing" they can't stand. Vomit does get to me a bit but also sputum. There are occasions you can make deals with coworkers if you know they hate something...

    anh06005 replied to Lusin's topic in Cardiac

    I think the 12 lead EKG tech class would only be for DOING the EKG...not interpreting it. I've been a cardiac nurse for several years now and there's still stuff I don't know about 12 leads.......
