    Katie5 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    You know what's funny and amazing. Even with all the learning and being a doctor or a nurse, when it comes down to family, all of that vanishes- the objective thinking, critical thinking... out the...

    Katie5 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  24. My daughter is quitting nursing school!

    Katie5 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    I'd bargain with her, just one more year. Have the degree and then do what her heart desires- the PT aide. As parents, it's great to say let your kids do what they want, but sometimes when it comes to...
