    jeepgirl replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jeepgirl replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. ? About not breastfeeding

    jeepgirl replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Finding Places To Do Clinicals

    jeepgirl replied to krisssy's topic in Post Graduate Students

  17. Finding Places To Do Clinicals

    jeepgirl replied to krisssy's topic in Post Graduate Students

    jeepgirl replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I haven't been a inpatient as a nurse yet - the closest I have come is the ER. When I was in the ER, I had three of the nurses come in (shoulder to shoulder) and timidly ask me... "Is ___ your...
