    Sometimes it's hard to tell a drug seeker from a patient in pain.

    OhioCCRN replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    at the risk of getting flamed... My personal views are that manipulative drug seekers disgust me. I find it hard to feel any sympathy to their plight (real or imagined) That is just how i feel. That...

    Is Med-Surg really a dead end?

    OhioCCRN replied to JustWannaWork,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work med-surg in a High acuity hospital. Some of our pt's would be in the ICU elsewhere. It is challenging but a great learning experience! Dead end? Not likely, Nursing is really what you make

    does it really matter where you got your degree from?
