    Discouragement

    NurseCard replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCard replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Swill. To answer the OP.... if there were a decent tasting, good quality coffee, marketed to nurses, at a good price, and promised to donate some proceeds to charity... sure I'd buy it. Why

    Job change

    NurseCard replied to LagoRN13's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCard replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, generally a first responder is a person who arrives on scene at an accident, fire, or medical emergency, and is paid to do so. I don't know if there are any nursing specialties out there that fit...

    NurseCard replied to petertheparrot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
