  3. plz answer my qestion about GED

    RN1982 replied to WantingToBeANurse's topic in General Nursing

  10. The ANA really doesn't like non-BSN Nurses

    RN1982 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I got a stethoscope from Allheart.com. It's their brand, it's stainless steel and works just as good as the littman that I had. It was only 20 bucks

  17. Why ICU is the "dream place"?

    RN1982 replied to greenland's topic in General Nursing

    For me, I love the adrenaline rush I get when I have a patient going bad and I have to hang a bunch of vasopressors or transfuse blood or I have a patient with chest trauma who just put out a liter of...

  24. Is this unethical/illegal? (Mentioning LVN title in an ad for another job)
