  1. Warning about Columbia State.

    rwright15 replied to LolaLola's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I remember them. They were booted out about 2 months before I went into 2. The ones to follow were very inexperienced, actually they'd never taught before. One had been in school for most of her...

  2. Do you like ER or ICU better?

    rwright15 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Emergency

  8. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    rwright15 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

  13. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    rwright15 replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
