    kimbernurse replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    kimbernurse replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in School

    kimbernurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  12. Fake Illness

    kimbernurse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  14. Questioning Our Compassion

    kimbernurse replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    ER nurses definitely have strong personalities! I think you'll pretty much find that in any ER and any ICU. I think we kinda have to be that way, you know, hold our ground so we won't be manipulated...
