    mindlor replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

  7. do you make sure your pts

    mindlor replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt that nurses WANT to provide the personlized care. I certainly understand the staffing issues and what not on a busy unit... However, many times I see patients not receiving proper care while...

  16. how important is GPA?

    mindlor replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    I think the answer is highly variable. For myself, I do not work, nor do I have any other responsibility besides school, so for me, anything less than an A is inexusable. Now cut to the working mom...
