    nurseeB replied to rainbowbright2's topic in General Nursing

    nurseeB replied to natcakes's topic in Nursing Career

    You could call some local hospitals and explain that you are thinking of majoring in nursing, but would like to shadow a nurse for a few shifts. Most places are willing to have you come in. This...

  3. med error--real world answer?

    nurseeB replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

  10. how long should I wait before I call

  19. If you breastpumped at work, were your coworkers supportive?

    nurseeB replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing
