    medicrnohio replied to Gallee's topic in General Nursing

    medicrnohio replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you have awhile before you need to make a decision about where your will be working as a nurse. Certainly it is always a good idea to scope out the field. By the time you graduate the...

    medicrnohio replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am also an asthmatic and don't like the new CFC inhalers at all. They certainly don't provide the relief they once did. I brought this up to the pharmacist and this is what they suggested. At...

  21. How much would you have to win to quit working as a nurse? How much would it take?

    medicrnohio replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    I would not work as a nurse. In my opinion, if anyone found out you had that much money it would leave you wide open for frivolous lawsuits. That is not to say that frivolous lawsuits can't happen...

  25. ICU: Nurses Wash Patients + Make Beds?

    medicrnohio replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing
