  1. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    Agnus replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

  6. Nursing without the "yukkies".

    Agnus replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    This is a variation on a theme. You do get over it. However, I can't help wonder why somone with so much of an adversion would want to go into nursing? This really puzzles me as it is obvious...

  7. Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

  8. Can you believe this???

    Agnus replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

  10. Can you believe this???

    Agnus replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Unless it is in your contract, the employee handbook, or the policy book I don't think she has a leg to follow through with this. Unfortunately managers do not automatically know employment law....

    Agnus replied to Xina's topic in General Nursing

  15. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    Agnus replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the need to protect the fetus. I also understand manipulation when I see it. This reminds me when I was in the Army. Women would try to get out of field duty because they "had thier...

  17. Air in IV lines

    Agnus replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

    The problem I am having, is why a large volume of air is more apt to enter a disconected central line than a disconected periferal line. I know there is an answer. I think that I knew this once....

  21. Air in IV lines

    Agnus replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

  23. Is is possible to overcome attendance problems...

    Agnus replied to lovemyguys's topic in General Nursing
