    nursing heartbreak :/

    chicookie replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    Hairstyle best for nursing

    chicookie replied to mom35's topic in General Nursing

    When I had it long enough it was in a ponytail all the time. Or I would braid it. Then I cut it short, in a rockish- layered - flippy-out-type of thing. oh man it drove me nuts too short to do...

    Why we learn to calculate drip rates

    chicookie replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school it was a big deal and they told it was if we were ever with out lights or in the case of an emergency. We have our own little power plant so this hospital never loses electricity. I...

    chicookie replied to sakura_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure
