    Fuzzy replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Fuzzy replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WHAT?! No euthanasia solution? Heck I'd even put it in the vein. I like most of my patients as even the bad ones usually have a good excuse to act the way that they do. However, some of the clients...

    Fuzzy replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  20. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Fuzzy replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  22. Question: Is there a thread that ONLY belongs to nurses?

    Fuzzy replied to sweetsounds's topic in Emergency
