    kmrmom42 replied to kmrmom42's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    June1925, Can you explain more about why you feel that Tysabri is better than Copaxone? I am considering Copaxone over Tysabri because of the following concerns: Apparently Tysabri is associated with...

    kmrmom42 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    kmrmom42 replied to kmrmom42's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    kmrmom42 replied to kmrmom42's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Linda, Don't give up on nursing! There are so many areas of nursing that you can work in that don't require being on your feet all the time. Hang in there and the right job will come to you.

    kmrmom42 replied to kmrmom42's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    kmrmom42 replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

  24. male L&D nurses and vag exams

    kmrmom42 replied to lionkore's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If the male MDs are required to have a female staffer in the room when they are doing exams then I guess you could require the same of a male nurse. If not then why would the nurse need one if the doc...

  25. Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    kmrmom42 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn
