  2. Very upset.

    2bnurselovescoffee replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I think she meant to talk to your clinical instructor about the incident and how it made you feel. You have two options you can sit around and feel bad about what happened (which is easy to do), or...

    2bnurselovescoffee replied to PiPhi2004's topic in General Nursing

    It's an ethical debate... would it be ok with you for someone to "waste away" if they were a millionere and could pay for the healthcare? How does that change things in your eyes? Just a...
