    BabyCatchr replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Nursing school and social life?

    BabyCatchr replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I'd count that as a social life. "No social life" to me means: commute 4 hours round trip to school, run kids around to band & cheer & back again, help kids w/homework, cook for kids, tell...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    Wouldn't those photos have been a good teaching tool to discourage other teens from OD'ing? If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I would think it might bring some sense of reality to his
