    whichone'spink replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Emergency

    I know you meant this as a joke, but once at the ER I work at, security was called to control a belligerent psych patient. Their tasers didn't work. Wouldn't be a bad idea to carry one, if it

    whichone'spink replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

  9. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    whichone'spink replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    I'll limit whatever skills I learn to the hospital for now. Besides, EMS is pretty fast after someone calls 911. The EMTs are more qualified to extract someone from a car and maintain

  10. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    whichone'spink replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    whichone'spink replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

  13. The positive side of nursing...PLEASE!!!

    whichone'spink replied to sarahsmile44's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to karyan06's topic in General Nursing

  17. Has your alma mater ever mattered?

    whichone'spink replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to phlox's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to CAPPYBARA BREAKFAST's topic in General Nursing

    I went to college right out of high school, so nursing is the first real career that I will have. But I go to school with many people who have previous degrees and previous careers before starting...
