    aehart replied to leaBSN's topic in Ohio Nursing

  5. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    aehart replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

  7. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

    aehart replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    aehart replied to mark1973's topic in Critical Care

  19. Why did his nurses do this?

    aehart replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

    As nurses we love them all. We see people on the worst days of their lives continuously and if we don't care for the good, the bad, or the angry boys we have no business doing what we do. I'm so sorry...
