    The same old battle - work vs school! Ughh..

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    It's kind of odd, because this company does all but have pep rallies to encourage their people to continue education. So I dont think it's the company as much as it's the person on the other end of...

    Need help adjusting. Any advice?

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    A&OxNone replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is sort of similar.... But I always think about how everybody just assumes everybody on here is a good nurse. Does that make sense? We all want to believe we are great nurses that never fake...

    A&OxNone replied to Murse901's topic in Emergency

    Agreen with the post above. What about an IO? Even though it doesn't fix your immediate problem of getting blood, you can at least start some fluids and try to get the veins plumped up a little while...
