    NeoPediRN posted a topic in Emergency

    NeoPediRN replied to southernbeegirl's topic in Emergency

  12. Does anyone who has made a lifelong career of the ED still love their job?

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in Emergency

    NeoPediRN replied to vitals17's topic in General Nursing

    Linens! They are a huge expense and most hospitals I've worked for frequently throw fresh linens in the soiled linen bag because they're ripped or stained. These get laundered and returned to the...

  15. BSN to PA

    NeoPediRN replied to GusM's topic in General Nursing

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in General Nursing
