  2. Dilemma in clinical?

    mindlor replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    mindlor replied to love1226's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  12. Why were the nurses give me a hard time when I was just doing my job?

    mindlor replied to italianice3's topic in General Nursing

  13. Hyper and hypo ventilation with PaCO2 levels

    mindlor replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In my vocabulary, using sound nursing assessment and judgement to then make decsions based on protocols does not equate to directing care. We are obviously dealing with a semantics issue. Who do you...

    mindlor replied to Jane says's topic in General Nursing

  17. Poor nurse role models.. is this what I have to look forward to?

    mindlor replied to Jane says's topic in General Nursing

    Just as certain that you can see negative, you can also see positive. it is contingent on each of us to decide what it is that we seek. I choose to seek positive role models and therefore find

  18. Hyper and hypo ventilation with PaCO2 levels

    mindlor replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are ABSOLUTELY spot on Gila. Oxygen cannot be withheld when it is needed. But, the level must be increased with caution. Everything you say is spot on

  23. Socializing after work in your scrubs

    mindlor replied to klone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mindlor replied to bsnanat2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
