    jessiern replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

  8. Why do I feel like an idiot?

    jessiern replied to 2togo4rn's topic in General Nursing

    jessiern replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    jessiern replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    jessiern replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    That would have to be handed out to the next shift. I might would try to start the IV--But seeing as how we start shift change report at 6:45, probably not. Also, any admission we get after 6:30 are...
