    NURSING is not awful... generally, most nurses are good-hearted, caring, understanding, humble, and intelligent. Only few are those who seem to be a bad egg in the world of nursing. Unfortunately, in this world, only those that are negative / not goo...
  9. CNA's and Fire Power

  17. The continuing saga of nurses vs. EMTs...

    I agree that in this world there will always be a bad person and a good one. Not all EMTs are bad, not all nurses are good either. Instead of recalling and condemning the EMTs for the bad experiences, why not make a positive outcome from it. In every...
