    PeaceKeepr replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  4. Employer paying off Student Loans?

    PeaceKeepr replied to Bluebolt's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. Did or do you work as a CNA in a hospital

    PeaceKeepr replied to toddmeyer11's topic in Men in Nursing

    PeaceKeepr replied to lilcampy310's topic in Men in Nursing

  25. Zero tolerance for workplace violence a double standard??

    PeaceKeepr replied to burnedoutRNinSC's topic in Men in Nursing

    That is a crappy situation. You're getting the static b/c of the standard of care that you do not "abandon" the patients. It does seem like a double standard, but you have a responsibility to take...
