    Right Personality for OR?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to DM74LA's topic in Operating Room

    Check about shadowing an OR nurse for a whole day (or a few days) and ask questions. This will give you a better idea if OR nursing is for you. Also, if you're into technology, have you checked out...

    Male Nursing Forum Reminder

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to Brian's topic in Men in Nursing

    Had a lengthy remark typed, but i'll just make it short and sweet (since the odds of deletion are good): it doesn't seem non-exclusive (hence the reason why this is my one and only post here).

    Nurse's Aid acting as a Nurse

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    Not really because, as it's been said, it's unsolicited advice, i.e. suggesting what someone else should do with their life, when that person never asked for

    Word Processor

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to tookewlandy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WordPad works good for typing (especially for those that don't have the only $150 to invest in Office right now). You can usually find a website that'll do the spelling and grammar checks that you'll...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    Well Flopsy and Mopsy have no business saying they are "one of your nurses." Aside from the fact that it IS illegal, it's also misleading to pts. because they might assume that either one and also...
