    Speculating replied to osprey's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  3. Starting a business w/o experience

    Speculating replied to viperfish's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  8. overwhelmed with paperwork!!!!

    Speculating replied to April~futureLPN's topic in General Students

    I sure do remember those days. I don't miss them a bit. I learned how to take short cuts quickly. We were lucky we were able to pick out our own pts. I always picked the same type. CHF'ers we the best...

    Speculating replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Speculating replied to Dagwood's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Speculating replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

  24. Post-Mortem Care

    Speculating replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Speculating replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing
