    Great book by Suzanne Gordon:Nursing Against The Odds

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh i don't but it's jsut a royal shame that i paid that much money for a book that pretty much sees my profession as "assisting". Silly me, i actually thought a book titled "Nursing Against the Odds"...

    Great book by Suzanne Gordon:Nursing Against The Odds

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to blackdog's topic in General Students

    Oh boy......I ticked off the charge nurse

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to newish nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy......I ticked off the charge nurse

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to newish nurse's topic in General Nursing
