  1. OR nursing QUESTIONS

    orrnlori replied to BSN_student2004's topic in Operating Room

    orrnlori replied to RNKPCE's topic in General Nursing

    orrnlori replied to tsu_girl82's topic in General Nursing

    orrnlori replied to ResearchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a clue what theory was used by my school. I don't ever remember them stating it at any point. But I remember care plans, lots and lots of long care plans, measurable goals, etc. I read...

    orrnlori replied to joey1967's topic in General Students

  18. Way older than clinical instructor?

    orrnlori replied to joey1967's topic in General Students

    This instructor really has you in a tizzy. He may be a total jerk, I don't know. I think you are letting him make you feel too insecure. I was 40 when I started clinicals and I had several...

    orrnlori replied to Louisepug's topic in General Nursing

    orrnlori replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

    orrnlori replied to orrnlori's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    orrnlori replied to VAC's topic in General Nursing

    I went back and re-read the originial post and no where in there does it state that the management was asking her to take out the trash, it was another nurse. The gripe was with the other nurse....
