  1. Scared of needlesticks?

    Pfiesty replied to neutrophilicRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    A few nurses have commented that they will be careful and they are scared. I am very scared also. But research studies have shown that in the majority of needlesticks, not being careful was not a...

  2. Scared of needlesticks?

    Pfiesty replied to neutrophilicRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I know of a situation where a nurse was stuck and the source patient, two days post surgery, was very low risk, with no risk factors, except the blood she received in surgery. That blood is assumed...

  3. needleless needles

    Pfiesty replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

  4. what I DON'T LIKE about NURSING is...

    Pfiesty replied to sergei1989's topic in General Students

  10. Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    Pfiesty replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the midst of brilliant colleages. There are very smart comments on here. There has never been a shortage of licensed nurses - anywhere. There has been varying degrees of actively working...

    Pfiesty replied to Charlotte205's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
