I think this whole campaign to convince people people are crying bully prematurely was started by a bunch of bullies. And people who use sarcasm, eye-rolling, gossiping, information hoarding, disregarding your needs/concerns are just doing the soc...
This is a very good discussion I worked in W. Africa a no. of years ago and was on call for emergencies 24/7. One night I received a call where a US citizen, a woman had eaten something in a local restaurant, was experiencing a possible anaphylaxt...
Hi - as a new nurse medications can be confusing. Not wanting to preach but You need to review the medications, actions, types of vials and doses and how they are calculated. Try the following below; When you can sit in a quiet area and Get hold of...

I think that online education today is very much part of learning. There are many top notch universities with excellent programs. I also see a need for clinical practice with clinician teachers in a healthcare setting. Both can function well. The key...
