    nutella replied to regerterb's topic in General Nursing

    What counts is that you are happy and satisfied with the work you are doing. I have worked in many different areas and some of them seen as "easy". Which really leads to the question how do we measure...

    nutella replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

  24. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    nutella replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    I feel bad for the students to be honest. They are usually young, optimistic, and want to "care" for patients. Reality is hard. Nursing school is tough, clinicals are tough, and once you finally...
