    NabiRN replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

  15. Interesting Article...

    NabiRN replied to Crux1024's topic in Operating Room

    I worked in one OR for 4 years and recently got a job in a larger facility. I can't believe that every personality (surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, techs, etc) in the old OR has a twin in the new...

    NabiRN replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    NabiRN replied to Justme123's topic in Operating Room
